Bhutan Red Cross Society joined national emergency agencies in the earthquake simulation exercise in Thimphu today on 23.06.26.

As an auxiliary to the Royal Government in humanitarian services as per the Bhutan Red Cross Act 2016, BRCS deployed volunteers to support First Aid services and the Dignified Management of the Deceased, while working in close coordination with relevant agencies to strengthen disaster preparedness and response capacities.

Exercises such as this has provided valuable opportunities to test coordination mechanisms, enhance operational readiness, and reinforce our collective ability to respond effectively and in a timely manner during emergencies and disasters.

Coinciding with the auspicious Birth Anniversary of Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, the Bhutan Red Cross Society inaugurated its first Branch Emergency Operation Centre (BEOC) in Tsirang today.

The inauguration was graced by the Honourable Dasho Dzongdag of Tsirang, marking a significant milestone in strengthening decentralized humanitarian preparedness and emergency response systems across the country.

Mandated under the Bhutan Red Cross Society Act 2016, BRCS plays a vital humanitarian role in enhancing community resilience, disaster preparedness, emergency response, health, and social services. Following consultations with Dzongkhag Administrations across all 20 Dzongkhags in 2025, BRCS identified the need for establishing Branch Emergency Operation Centres as decentralized operational hubs to support Dzongkhag Disaster Management Committees (DDMCs) and complement the work of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).

The establishment of the BEOCs was blessed by Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, The President of the Bhutan Red Cross, during the launch of BRCS Development Plan II (2026โ€“2030) and the Branch Disaster Response Team initiative on 8 May 2026, coinciding with the 10th Anniversary of the Bhutan Red Cross Society.

The BEOCs will serve as decentralized emergency coordination and response centres, enabling timely humanitarian assistance, preparedness, communication, coordination, and continuity of operations during disasters and emergencies. They will also function as alternative Dzongkhag Emergency Operation Centres (DEOCs) under the prerogative of the Dzongkhag Incident Commander when required.

As part of BRCS's long-term vision, all BEOCs will be digitally interconnected with the planned BRCS National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) and Logistics Centre in Thimphu, creating a nationwide humanitarian coordination network. Through interoperable communication systems, emergency management platforms, incident reporting tools, GIS mapping, emergency alerts, and virtual coordination mechanisms, the network will facilitate real-time information sharing, volunteer mobilization, relief coordination, and effective emergency response from branch to national level.

BRCS extends its sincere gratitude to the Tsirang Dzongkhag Administration for allocating the space for establishment of the BEOC and for its continued support to the Bhutan Red Cross Society and the Tsirang Branch.

Today, the Bhutan Red Cross Society had the pleasure of welcoming the United Nations Resident Coordinator Mr. Gaurav Ray for a meaningful exchange and reconnect around our shared commitment to serving communities and strengthening humanitarian action in Bhutan.
The visit served as an important opportunity to strengthen dialogue, share experiences, and explore avenues for deeper partnership in addressing the evolving humanitarian needs of the communities across the country.

BRCS also presented the ongoing work of the Bhutan Red Cross Society in disaster preparedness and response, health and wellbeing initiatives, volunteer engagement, and community resilience-building efforts under the Development Plan II(2026-2030).

We look forward to strengthening the collaboration between the two organizations and continuing to work together in support of communities across Bhutan in the humanitarian services.

On behalf of H.E Ambassador Didier VANDERHASSELT, Embassy of Belgium, we had the honor of hosting Mr. Patrick Govaert, Economic Counsellor at the Embassy of Belgium to India at the Bhutan Red Cross Society Headquarter.

Mr. Govaert was warmly received by the Secretary-General along with representatives from the Headquarters divisions and units.
During the visit, both sides reflected on the remarkable commonalities shared between the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Kingdom of Belgium, two great nations where the Royal Family plays an inspiring and active role in the service of their people and the greater good.

The Bhutan Red Cross Society presented an overview of its work and services, including updates on the Development Plan 2 (2026-2030) highlighting its continued commitment to humanitarian action.
The discussion also opened doors to exploring a prospective partnership through the Embassy with the Belgian Red Cross in strengthening humanitarian partnerships and cooperation.

We extend our sincere appreciation for the visit and the meaningful exchange of insights and goodwill.
