The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) is organizing an online dialogue on Accelerating Implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action in Asia and the Pacific on Monday, 27th September and the first round of dialogue will last for two week period till Friday, 8th October.

With the ongoing momentum in regard to the preparations of the 4th AMCDRR, the first round of the dialogue will involve simultaneous discussions around two topics:

1) Regional Action for DRR - Experiences of the three previous Asian Ministerial Conferences, Declarations, regional action plan, regional programs, and regional stock taking and mapping;

2) Visioning at what do we want to see coming out of the 4th AMCDRR - What should we do at the community, sub-national, national and regional level to accelerate HFA implementation. The dialogues are open to the public and moderated by experts in the field – two from ADPC and two from external organizations. The output of this first round will also feed into the upcoming issue of the Asian Disaster Management News, the quarterly publication of ADPC.

The main theme of this issue of the publication is “Accelerating Implementation of HFA in Asia and the Pacific” and with subtitle on ‘Reviewing progress since the first, second and third Asian Ministerial Conference on DRR”.
