Disaster Resilient Infrastructure Models (DRIM)

The DRIM document presents region-specific disaster-resilient infrastructure models developed and displayed by NDMA’s Infrastructure Advisory & Project Development (IA&PD) Wing at NDMA Headquarters in Islamabad. It showcases practical, hazard-responsive housing and infrastructure solutions tailored to Pakistan’s diverse geography (hilly, plain, hilly-plain, and plain-coastal regions) and major threats—earthquakes, floods, and landslides—covering Punjab, KP, Sindh, Balochistan, GB, and AJ&K.

Post-Monsoon 2026 Assessment of Infrastructure Damages & Resilience Needs Report

The Post-Monsoon 2026 Infrastructure Damage Report presents a nationwide assessment of infrastructure impacts caused by the Monsoon 2026 across Pakistan. Prepared by NDMA’s Infrastructure Advisory and Project Development (IA&PD) Wing, the report analyzes damage patterns, with the heaviest concentration in Gilgit-Baltistan), identifies key causes of failure, and highlights priority areas for recovery and resilience.

Community Sensitization on Resilient Structures Gilgit Baltistan

The IA&PD Wing of NDMA conducted a seven-day field visit (21–28 September 2026) across Astore, Ghizer and Gilgit districts, covering 650 km and reaching about 600 families to promote disaster-resilient construction. The team assessed damage from debris flows, riverine erosion and high groundwater, met district administrations, observed affected settlements and temporary relocations, and reviewed alternative housing options such as Air-Crete dome structures. Findings highlighted the need for multi-hazard assessments, structured resettlement, climate-informed planning and a shift from pure restoration to risk reduction; the report offers seven recommendations on land-use planning, resilient reconstruction, avoidance of high-risk sites, continued sensitisation and stronger district coordination to support “build back better” outcomes.

Landslide Infrastructure Advisory - 2026

In view of the ongoing monsoon season, the Infrastructure Advisory & Project Development (IA&PD) Wing of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a Landslide Infrastructure Advisory highlighting the key factors contributing to increased landslide risk in mountainous regions. The advisory identifies intense and prolonged rainfall, unstable slopes, deforestation, erosion, water saturation, unplanned construction, and seismic activity as major contributing factors.

Rainfall/Thunderstorm Infrastructure Advisory - 2026

In view of the ongoing monsoon season, the Infrastructure Advisory & Project Development (IA&PD) Wing of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a Rainfall/Thunderstorm Infrastructure Advisory – 2026. The advisory highlights that intense rainfall can lead to soil saturation, slope instability, inadequate runoff management, landslides, and flooding, posing significant risks to communities, infrastructure, and critical assets.
