The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), in partnership with Malé City Council, has held a working session to review the draft Malé City Disaster Management Plan.
The plan was formulated with assistance from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). Council members and staff discussed the draft, provided feedback and identified next steps toward finalisation.
NDMA said the session advanced the city’s disaster preparedness efforts. Malé City Council has been working on the plan as part of broader resilience-building measures for the capital.
The authority regularly collaborates with local councils on island and city-level disaster management frameworks, particularly for hazards such as flooding, storms and coastal risks that affect densely populated areas.
Further consultations are expected before the plan is finalised and adopted.
