The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC)’s foundation represents a vital turning point in Pakistan’s disaster management capabilities. Having access to detailed climate data is invaluable as extreme weather occurrences become more frequent. The NEOC’s data bank will enable decision-makers in policy, science, and disaster management to take well-informed actions to mitigate the effects of climate change. The NEOC’s focus on data-driven decision-making and technology sets a standard for disaster management not just in Pakistan but also internationally. Not only will accurate disaster forecasting and access to climate data save lives, but they will also lessen the financial damage brought on by natural disasters.
