Process of Developing the AADMER WP
 ACDM-led – ACDM National Focal Points (i.e.
NDMOs) provide guidance and oversight
 Participatory and transparent –various means of
gathering inputs through the ACDM Working Groups,
workshops with partners, FGDs with CSOs/NGOs,
country consultations on partnership and resource
mobilization, training needs assessments, etc.
 Partnership-supported – partners include ASEAN
Partnership Group (Oxfam), PDC, ADPC, USFS,
AIFDR, ADRC, etc. at various points in time.

AADMER through concrete actions and initiatives.
Comprehensive: covers key aspects of disaster
management from response to recovery.
Holistic : interdependence of the different
components and building blocks.
Time-bound: phased implementation, i.e. 2010 –
2012 and 2013 – 2015
Rolling plan: a dynamic document, updating through
feedback mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation
Vision and Goals
 Vision: Disaster-resilient nations and safer communities in
the ASEAN region by 2015.
 Goal: Substantially reduce loss of life and damage to
economic, social, physical and environmental assets of
ASEAN Member States caused by natural and human-induced
disasters.

Objectives
 Improve the capacities of ASEAN for regional risk assessment,
regional early warning activities and continued monitoring
for well-targeted response and recovery activities;
 Assist Member States in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction
into national development policies, plans and sectoral
programmes and in formulating and implementing risk
reduction measures that link climate change adaptation and
key sectors to ensure sustainable development;
 Enhance disaster preparedness of Member States and improve
ASEAN’s responsiveness to major disasters in a manner that is
collective, fast, reliable and in line with humanitarian standards through
common operational procedures and mechanisms and rapid mobilisation
of resources;
9
Objectives
 Strengthen the technical and organisational capacities of Member States
to lead, coordinate, and manage the post-disaster recovery
process through proactive recovery planning for early and
long-term recovery.
 Strengthen technical and institutional capacities of Member States
through the provision of capacity development and training
programmes on disaster management.
 Foster closer partnerships and more collaborative initiatives
with partner organisations, international organisations, civil
society, academia, and the military, among others, to promote
disaster resilience in ASEAN from regional to local levels; and
 Enhance disaster consciousness of the peoples in ASEAN to
instill a culture of safety and resilience.

ecosystems.
Cross-boundary disaster impacts and concerns - require
collaboration among Member States.
Builds on current national priorities and agenda and
existing regional mechanisms – some are already ongoing
Synergises existing networks and potential partnerships
with all stakeholders - people-centred ASEAN
Recognises the unique needs and potential contributions
of various groups of stakeholders including vulnerable groups
and gender perspectives.

support platforms, interoperability, testing of a regional EW
system
Monitoring – developing policies, procedures and regional
mechanisms to facilitate cooperation of Member States in the
monitoring of hazards

ICS – adapting it into the NDMS and regional mechanisms
SOPs and mechanisms with other humanitarian actors, i.e. UN
OCHA
Component 4. Recovery
Strengthening Member States to:
 Conduct damage and loss assessment.
 Develop an effective recovery action plan for rehabilitation and
reconstruction.
 Mobilise resources from local, regional and international
community to support implementation of the recovery process.
 Develop a transition plan and link post-disaster recovery process

It is highly preferable for the ACDM Focal Point to be likewise
designated as the AADMER NFP.
Member States to designate one or more Competent Authorities for
the purpose of implementing the AADMER.
Create an enabling policy, legal and institutional environment to
expedite implementation of AADMER related activities.
Incorporate AADMER related activities into regular plans and
programmes.

of an external party to ensure transparency and participation of
stakeholders.
Monitoring template of the ASCC Blueprint to be adapted.
Reporting to be closely aligned to the HFA monitoring and
reporting, particularly for the DRR elements in the Work Programme
to avoid duplication of efforts of Member States.
