MUSCAT: The Media Sector of the National Risk Register reviewed its 2026 outputs and the efforts made to raise community awareness of media risks at a meeting on Wednesday. The meeting was chaired by Mohammed bin Said al Balushi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Head of the Sector.

The meeting discussed updating early warning mechanisms for media risks at the national level and strengthening the capacity to monitor, track and analyse indicators and developments that may pose such risks. This would enable a rapid response, limit their repercussions and unify the efforts of supporting entities in monitoring and managing risks.

It also addressed awareness and education campaigns on the risks listed in the Community Edition of the National Risk Register, which aim to build a culture of risk prevention through preparedness, response and early action. Media coverage of the register’s efforts was also discussed, along with ways of highlighting initiatives and programmes and the level of readiness and capabilities in managing risks and mitigating their impacts. — ONA
