The NDMD website is the official channel through which general information and Disaster Risk Reduction messages are disseminated.

Our department has taken the broad perspective on enhancing Disaster Risk Management and strengthening resilience across all levels — using creative solutions and effective communication strategies to reach current and new audiences.

Designed for everyone, optimised for every device

Simple, clean design that communicates clearly what NDMD does. Easy to scroll, easy to navigate, mobile-optimised for cell phones and tablets — and accessible to readers of any age.

Our partnership and collaboration with stakeholders play a pivotal role in the production of multi-media content for our 12-month multi-hazard campaign — featuring a different stakeholder each month alongside their corresponding hazard.
