Representatives from 11 countries [1] will meet in Puri, Odisha, from June 3 to 5, 2024 [2], for a technical session on disaster risk reduction.
The gathering focuses on creating a shared agenda for disaster resilience. As member nations face increasing environmental threats, this collaboration aims to standardize how these countries manage crises and share technical expertise to protect populations.
This event marks the second BRICS Disaster Risk Reduction technical meeting [1]. The summit is designed to facilitate international collaboration among BRICS nations, focusing specifically on the mechanisms of disaster management and the strengthening of national resilience [2].
By hosting the event in Puri, India provides a venue for delegates to align their strategies on risk mitigation. The discussions will center on the technical aspects of reducing disaster impact, a critical need for the diverse geographic landscapes represented by the 11 participating nations [1].
Participants will evaluate current disaster frameworks to identify gaps in response times and resource allocation. The goal is to move toward a unified approach to resilience that can be scaled across different member states [2].

The meeting signifies an effort by BRICS nations to move beyond economic and political alignment toward a coordinated technical framework for public safety. By focusing on disaster risk reduction, these countries are acknowledging that climate-driven and natural disasters pose a systemic threat to their collective economic stability and regional security.
