Lessons Learned

Advance deployment and pre-positioning of assets (including military’s resources and discipline)

Essential use of “Civil Defense Assets” i.e. Military (foreign ) in times of national disaster – dialogue

Early action - - - pre-emptive evacuation and establishment of safe & resilient evacuation centers

Use of indigenous materials (e.g. waterbeds, ice chest, surfing board, etc) to transport victims

Development of disaster risk reduction-sensitive contingency plans

Capacity-building for extreme weather events

Humanitarian Challenges

ASEAN, UN and other partners – not competing but complementing… Harmonize AADMER with global humanitarian architecture.

Multi-lateral response – preparedness at all levels; Sharing resources and information - coordination!

Establishing leadership for better delivery of humanitarian assistance through clusters

Sustaining Multi-stakeholder Partnerships (ex: RP Reconstruction Strategy and AADMER Work
