This initiative fortifies digital networks against disasters by providing risk-informed, systemic strategies for resilient planning, design, and regulation across wireless and wireline telecommunications.

It equips governments, service providers, infrastructure stakeholders, and communities to enhance redundancy, sustain service continuity, and build robust digital systems. Strengthening telecommunications resilience safeguards lives, supports economies, and ensures critical services remain reliable in hazard-prone areas.

A technical study under this initiative has produced:

• Disaster Risk and Resilience Assessment Framework and a national and sub-national roadmap for the telecom sector.
• Disaster Risk and resilience Index for five Indian states.
