The floods of 2025 struck Punjab with a force not seen in decades. Authorities set up more than 500 relief camps, complemented by 352 medical centers and 300 veterinary camps, providing displaced families with shelter, food, healthcare, and protection for their animals. Veterinary camps distributed fodder and cared for animals, while medical units provided care to tens of thousands in camps. The decision to use drones for surveillance and rapid mapping demonstrated how technology is now embedded into disaster response, reducing delays and preventing preventable loss of life. Against that grim history, keeping casualties in Punjab’s 2025 floods to the low dozens, despite affecting millions, demonstrates the maturity of the province’s preparedness.
