Earthquake Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) (Urdu: زلزلہ بحالیات و تعمیرِنو مختاریہ) is federal institution of Pakistan tasked and responsible for the operational planning, coordinating, monitoring, and regulating the reconstruction and rehabilitation operations in the earthquake affected areas of the country.
As of present, the institution is currently chaired by Lt Gen Akhtar Nawaz as its appointed and designated Chairman.
[1] On 24 November, Prime Minister Imran Khan approved the merger of ERRA with the National Disaster Management Authority.
[2] ERRA served as the apex institution for formulating the national earthquake public policy for the government and managed financial funds for the efforts and operations involved in the reconstruction programmes.
Established on 24 October 2005 as a direct response to the 2005 Kashmir earthquake (7.6 on the Richter Scale) in north-western Pakistan, ERRA coordinated its largest operation to rebuild and reconstruct the 28,000-km2 earthquake effected area (equalling the size of the Netherlands and Belgium put together).
