Within
the framework of the Advisory Council, an
ADPC Regional Consultative Committee on
Disaster Management has been established
since 2000. The Committee comprises members
of the ADPC Board of Trustees/Advisory Council
who are Heads of National Disaster Management
systems of countries of the Asian region.
The role
of the Consultative Committee is to provide
an informal consultative mechanism for development
of action strategies for disaster reduction
in the region and promotion of cooperative
programs on a regional and sub-regional
basis; so as to guide ADPC's work.
To date,
annual meetings have been held in 2000 and
2001 in Thailand, 2002 in India and 2004
in Bangladesh and the 5th RCC meeting will
be held in Vietnam in May 2005. Meetings
are convened by ADPC and co-organized by
the Government of the host country and have
been attended by participants from over
30 countries. Deliberations have been focused
on identifying priority needs of member
countries for disaster reduction and on
learning lessons from experience. Email
