A BBC special debate from Bangkok on the future of disaster management in Asia, in which Mike Williams asks what makes Asia so vulnerable to 'natural' disasters, what the region can do to lessen the impact of these disasters, and how it can adapt to the increased numbers of disasters forecast for the future. He's joined for this discussion by a panel of experts from around the world: Bhichit Rattakul, director of the Asia Disaster Preparedness Center, Maarten van Aalst, associate head and lead climate specialist at the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, and Jemilah Mahmood, visiting senior research fellow at the Humanitarian Futures programme at King's College London and senior fellow at Malaysia's Khazanah Research Investment and Strategy.
