March 12, 2026

THE Cabinet of Ministers on Monday approved a new science-based national strategy aimed at strengthening the country's disaster resilience in the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, which struck the country in late November 2025 and affected an estimated 2.3 million people.

In response, the Science and Technology Ministry has initiated a program to shift the country's disaster management approach from a traditional post-disaster "response and restoration" model to a science-based pre-disaster resilience framework focused on prevention and preparedness.
