PBS Establishes Model Flood Damage Assessment Unit in Narowal

Narowal: Pakistan Bureau of Statistics has established a model Flood Damage Assessment Unit in Narowal to assess the flood damage and to facilitate data-driven effective planning for relief and rehabilitation.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Narowal District was selected for the pilot project due to its vulnerability to flooding from the Ravi River and various waterways, including Nala Dek originating from Jammu and Kashmir. The selection also considers the sanctity associated with Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur.

This system is designed to facilitate an integrated approach for targeted interventions, ensuring timely, evidence-based disaster preparedness, response, and long-term resilience building.
