The ASEAN Deputy Secretary General was speaking at a November 28 conference on the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) in Da Nang City.
(VOV) – ASEAN Deputy Secretary General Alicia Dela Rosa Bala has commended Vietnam’s active contributions to practical initiatives mitigating the negative impacts of climate change.
Deputy Secretary Bala was especially impressed with the way Vietnamese city planners have incorporated natural disaster response concerns. The AADMER is a regional natural disaster management framework for cooperation, coordination, technical assistance, and human resource mobilisation. The ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management divides its five-year working programme into two phases.
The conference is preparation for beginning the second phase, which includes 21 natural disaster and climate change risk reduction projects and the official website launch for the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre).
The second phase’s 21 projects prioritise strengthening the AHA Centre’s disaster assessment capacity, establishing a regional rapid-response team, and honing disaster responses through regional scenario rehearsals.
