- Post-Covid disaster governance in Southeast Asia
Abstract
There is a consensus among Southeast Asian governments on the need for multi-hazard disaster governance approaches. It is reflected in ASEAN member states’ efforts to strengthen their collective capacity to tackle the growing interconnection of risks and the cascading impacts and transboundary effects of disasters, as demonstrated in the declaration on “One ASEAN, One Response” and the 2021–25 ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) Work Programme.
