TThe poultry industry in Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan has been severely impacted by frequent flooding, resulting in significant economic losses and environmental damage. The industry faces several challenges, including high feed costs, disease outbreaks, and poor environmental management. While several strategies have been implemented to mitigate the effects of flooding, more needs to be done to secure the future of the poultry industry in Jamshoro. Disaster management is an important aspect of poultry farming that can help to reduce the impact of disasters on animal life, economic losses, and environmental damage. Best practices for disaster management include developing plans, investing in infrastructure, forging partnerships, implementing biosecurity measures, and adopting sustainable production practices. Public-private partnerships have emerged as an important strategy for enhancing flood preparedness and response in the poultry industry of Jamshoro. Innovations in disaster risk reduction for poultry farmers include early warning systems, climate-smart agriculture, remote sensing technologies, use of mobile technology, and breeding of disaster-resistant poultry. Effective policy approaches are needed to enhance flood resilience in the poultry industry, including establishing regulatory frameworks, providing affordable and relevant insurance options, collaboration between public and private sectors, establishing funding mechanisms, investing in infrastructure and linking the poultry industry to other sectors. Collaboration between all stakeholders is crucial to developing and implementing interventions that build resilience to climate risks, enabling the poultry industry to continue contributing to the region›s economy and society despite natural hazards.
