WHAT WE DO
AND WHY
The ASEAN region is one of the world’s most exposed area to frequent floods, typhoons, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions that cause loss of life and destruction of infrastructure and property. As the rate and intensity of these disasters is increasing significantly, the need to enhance the capacity of the National Disaster Management Organisations of ASEAN countries to coordinate and lead in all aspects of disaster response is paramount.
