Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has partnered with NDMA to issue geo-fenced SMS alerts aimed at protecting millions from the risks posed by ongoing monsoon floods. The initiative falls under the Disaster Early Warning System (DEW-3 – Monsoon) and uses location-based messaging to alert residents in vulnerable zones about incoming threats. This system enables timely evacuation or other precautionary actions, supporting public safety in high-risk areas.

With over 23 million Jazz users living in flood-prone regions identified by NDMA, the mobile network plays a central role in facilitating quick, targeted communication. The SMS alerts are triggered based on real-time flood data and delivered through geo-fencing, ensuring that only those in the affected zones receive the critical information. This method helps streamline the response and ensures no unnecessary panic among unaffected populations.

The collaboration between Jazz and NDMA reflects a broader effort to use technology in managing disaster response and preparedness. Aamir Ibrahim, CEO Jazz, highlighted the importance of this partnership, noting that the company’s wide network and data capabilities allow for precise communication at scale. He emphasized that using telecom infrastructure for public good is a meaningful way to protect lives and support resilience in communities exposed to climate threats.

In addition to SMS alerts, NDMA continues to utilize mainstream media, social media platforms, and the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert mobile app to keep the public informed about changing weather conditions. These efforts contribute to a multi-channel communication strategy designed to maximize reach and reduce disaster-related risks.

The working relationship between NDMA and Jazz was formalized in March 2025, with a shared focus on enhancing Pakistan’s response systems using digital technology. This recent monsoon deployment is one of the first major implementations under that framework, demonstrating the practical impact of combining telecom tools with disaster management expertise.

Through this scalable and responsive alert system, NDMA and Jazz aim to expand outreach as new flood zones are identified. The goal is to provide accurate, timely alerts that guide citizens toward safety before floods cause serious harm. The geo-fenced alerts are part of a layered risk communication model that aligns with national strategies for disaster resilience, especially during periods of extreme weather such as monsoons and heatwaves.

This partnership also signals how telecom operators can play a vital role in emergency response infrastructure, offering capabilities that go beyond commercial services and contribute to national safety objectives. As weather patterns become more volatile, the integration of real-time digital tools into disaster protocols is becoming a critical necessity, and initiatives like this set a benchmark for future public-private collaborations.
