It  is  with great pleasure  that ADPC  presents the  working  paper on Standard  Operation Procedures of Urban Disaster  Management in the Municipality of  Bandung  prepared by the Indonesian Urban Disaster Mitigation Project (IUDMP).  The IUDMP  is one of the  national demonstration projects under the Asian  Urban Disaster Mitigation Program (AUDMP).  The AUDMP,  which is  currently  being  implemented in Bangladesh, Cambodia,  Laos,  India, Indonesia, Nepal,  Philippines,  Sri  Lanka,  and  Thailand,  has  demonstrated  successful methodologies and approaches in mitigating the impact of the  natural disasters  in  the region. During implementation of the national demonstration projects by country partners, there  has been continuous building  of  knowledge and  experience emanating from the country  projects. The national demonstration  projects have  produced wealth of  knowledge in the  form of hazard maps,  reports,  proceedings,  review of policies,  documentation of  various  events and
activities, etc.
