ASEAN disaster law mapping - Implementing AADMER: A regional stocktake

This synthesis report is part of a wider regional project to develop an online platform and other forms of peer learning on implementing the disaster preparedness and response elements of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER). The report provides an overview of the regional trends that have emerged so far in the work of gathering and analyzing relevant national laws and policies of the ten ASEAN Member States (AMS).

The analysis focuses on the extent to which the national laws and policies:

• Establish national disaster risk management systems that meet the domestic preparedness and response objectives of AADMER; and
• Designate roles and provide sufficient institutional responsibilities and powers for national institutions to undertake the regional coordination obligations for preparedness and response undertaken through AADMER.
