ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM)<br />

The ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management started as a group of<br />

Experts for <strong>the</strong> Establishment of ASEAN Combined Operation Against<br />

Natural Disasters that fi rst met in 1971. The ASEAN Regional Program<br />

on Disaster Management document (ARPDM) is an umbrella framework<br />

to guide ASEAN cooperation for promoting more systematic <strong>disaster</strong><br />

<strong>management</strong>. The ACDM intends to implement <strong>the</strong> ARPDM through<br />

synergies with ongoing projects <strong>and</strong> to use it as a platform for extending<br />

existing one or two countries projects to o<strong>the</strong>r ASEAN member countries.<br />

It also explores an implementation on a pilot basis with limited geographic<br />

scope in country to o<strong>the</strong>r similar areas within <strong>the</strong> same country.<br />
