National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in collaboration with Fauji Fertilizer Company (FFC), conducted an Industrial Disaster Response Mock Drill and Simulation Exercise at FFC Goth Machhi, Rahim Yar Khan, to assess and strengthen preparedness, coordination and response mechanisms for potential industrial emergencies.
The exercise provided a practical platform to test emergency response procedures, inter-agency coordination and the operational readiness of relevant departments and stakeholders in responding to industrial hazards. The simulation also focused on strengthening coordination between district, provincial and industrial authorities for an effective and timely emergency response.
The exercise was participated by representatives of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Health Department, Rescue 1122, Civil Defence, Police, SPD/DESTO, Industries Department, Government of Punjab, NDMA and local industry, along with relevant FFC emergency response teams.
The mock drill provided an opportunity to identify operational gaps, improve communication and coordination mechanisms, and enhance the capacity of stakeholders to manage industrial emergencies through a coordinated response framework.
NDMA continues to promote a proactive approach towards disaster risk management by strengthening preparedness, institutional coordination and emergency response capabilities across the country.
