ODPMTT Official

The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM), a division of the Ministry of National Security. The information shared on this platform is crucial to the ODPM’s public awareness initiatives and our efforts to promote “a culture of prevention and education on disaster risk by advocating for an all-of-society approach to transferring information (UNDP, “Sendai” 20).

Since transforming from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to the ODPM in 2005, we have shifted from a response-centric operation to a comprehensive and multi-hazard approach that considers all elements of the Disaster Management Cycle: Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, Recovery and Rehabilitation phases.
