The NPDM emphasizes continuous improvement in disaster management capabilities. This is achieved through a variety of training and capacity-building exercises, such as seminars, simulations, and mock drills. These practical exercises help to test and refine plans and SOPs, ensuring that all stakeholders are well-prepared and can respond effectively during actual disaster events. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) plays a key role in facilitating these activities.
