 Malaysia hopes to create a safer environment for the community through effective disaster management, risk reduction concept and sustainable development in going through the millennium years.

 Since natural hazards cannot be avoided, integration of risk assessment and early warnings, with prevention and mitigation measures, can prevent them from escalating into disasters.

 Good collaboration with international organization such as ADRC, WMO, JICA, UN, etc of sharing information and technologies.  Good cooperation between agencies to promote better ways in dealing with disasters in Malaysia.
