Disaster Risk and Resilience Assessment Framework (DRRAF):
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in collaboration with the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI) has launched a report on the Disaster Risk and Resilience Assessment Framework (DRRAF). The report, part of CDRI’s study on National and Sub-national Disaster Risk & Resilience Assessment, aims to enhance the resilience of India’s telecom sector against natural disasters. DRRAF: Developed by CDRI, DoT, and NDMA, DDRAF adopts a system-scale approach covering all connectivity levels and regions. It aims to reduce infrastructure damage, financial losses, and enhance emergency connectivity and service restoration aligning with the Early Warnings for All (EW4All) by 2027’ initiative. EW4All was launched by the UN in 2022 to ensure global protection from climate-related disasters through early warning systems by year 2027.
