2024 was a hallmark year for disasters caused by natural hazards. According to the international disaster database, EM-DAT, 146 million people were affected by disasters in 2024 — 11 per cent higher than the past five years and 15 million more than 2023, despite recording the least number of disasters since 2019. 

This IDSS Paper reviews Papua New Guinea’s landslides in May, flooding in Spain in October, the Atlantic hurricane season, and the Pacific typhoon season, and finds the salient lessons to inform emergency preparedness and contingency planning for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in the ASEAN region.
