Multi-National Mission to the Tsunami Affected Areas in India 8-13 April 2005
Final Report Multi-national Mission to the Tsunami Affected Areas in India 8-13 April 2005 1. Introduction 1.1 Introduction of ADRC The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) was established in July 1998 with a mandate to facilitate multi-national cooperation for disaster reduction in the Asian region. Along with 25 member countries, ADRC pursues activities leading to further prosperity and safe, peaceful, and comfortable lives in Asia. ADRC also addresses issues of concern related to disaster reduction from a global perspective, in cooperation with international organizations and initiatives, such as the Inter-Agency Secretariat of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN/OCHA), UNESCO, the United Nations University (UNU), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN/ESCAP), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and the World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific (WHO/WPRO). 1.2 Brief description of the survey mission ADRC has always been keen to learn from the lessons gained from disasters in member countries and strengthen capabilities for disaster reduction of the countries in the Asian region. However it is often troublesome for the disaster affected areas to receive missions from abroad at the time of emergency. Furthermore, there are some constraints to dispatch survey teams to disaster affected areas due to political, socio-economic or cultural reasons. Considering the above, the multi-national mission provided a valuable opportunity for ADRC member countries. In the past, ADRC organised a multi-national mission to Gujarat after the devastating earthquake occurred in 26 January 2001, as part of the cooperative project with member countries. -
