Congratulations to our newest ASEAN-ERAT members! ?
From 13-20 February 2025, 35 individuals from ASEAN Member States, Timor-Leste, the ASEAN Secretariat, and the AHA Centre successfully completed the 16th ASEAN Emergency Response and Assessment Team (ASEAN-ERAT) Induction Course in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
This intensive 100-hour course included classroom sessions and a challenging simulation exercise that tested their ability to perform the core functions of ASEAN’s signature emergency response and assessment team, including rapid assessment, coordination, and facilitating incoming assistance.
The AHA Centre would like to thank the National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) of Cambodia for hosting the course, the Special Forces Command of the Kingdom of Cambodia for providing their facilities for the Simulation Exercise, and facilitators from ASEAN Member States, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), and MapAction for their invaluable support.
The 16th ASEAN-ERAT Induction Course is supported by the Government of Japan through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).
