This strategy is a road map for the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), the premier regional resource center for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Asia, for the next 10 years. It builds upon the experiences, successes and strengths of ADPC while at the same time working closely with countries in Asia and development partners to address the multiple, complex challenges related to disaster and climate risk. The strategy seeks to complement the DRR strategies of other key development partners to ensure that strong, collective and comprehensive support can and will be given to the countries and communities of Asia-Pacific Region as they seek to tackle their big disaster risk challenges.
