Nganglam Drungkhag-Simulation Exercise (SIMEX)

The Nganglam Drungkhag successfully conducted a three-day Simulation Exercise (SIMEX) from 21st to 23rd October 2025 to strengthen disaster preparedness and response capacity at the local level.
Organised by the Department of Local Governance and Disaster Management in collaboration with the Dungkhag Disaster Management Committee, the exercise aimed to familiarise the participants with the Incident Command System (ICS), validate the Dungkhag Disaster Management and Contingency Plan (DMCP), and identify gaps in coordination, communication, and resource mobilisation during emergencies. 
The exercise featured tabletop sessions and full-scale drills involving participants from all responding agencies in the Dungkhag.
The program highlighted effective teamwork, timely and well-coordinated evacuation drills, while also identifying areas for improvement in communication, coordination, and resource mobilisation. 
The valuable lessons learned will contribute to enhancing the Drungkhag Disaster Management and Contingency Plan (DMCP), ensuring Nganglam Dungkhag remains better prepared and resilient against future emergencies.
A heartfelt thank you to Nganglam Dungkhag and the participants for their support in making SIMEX a success!
