The PDR-SEA Network List

The PDR-SEA Network list is a moderated listserve of the Partnerships for Disaster Reduction - South East Asia (PDR-SEA) project for networking with its project partners, as well as individuals and institutions working towards disaster reduction in South East Asia. The PDR-SEA is a project managed by Asian Disaster Preparednes Center (ADPC) and funded by the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) under its DIPECHO Second Action Plan for South East Asia to provide technical support for regional information exchange, networking and capacity building for DIPECHO target countries namely, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines and Vietnam.

The purpose of the PDR-SEA Network list is to provide a platform for information exchange and electronic dialogue among DIPECHO partners and other stakeholders. It aims to share information on project activities, information sources, grassroots initiatives, case studies, lessons learned, institutional arrangements, publications and announcements; share ideas around a focus activity or document and queries; and allow people to access colleagues.

The PDR-SEA Network list is moderated by PDR-SEA staff at ADPC in Bangkok, Thailand. Guest moderators from among the project partners may be invited periodically to moderate the list together with the PDR-SEA moderator.

Who can join the list?

The PDR-SEA Network list includes project partners, national disaster management offices of DIPECHO target countries, DIPECHO contacts, and non-government organizations working on disaster mitigation and management in the Southeast Asian region. It may also include institutions, researchers, academics, students and any individual interested in disaster mitigation and management in the Southeast Asian region.

Monthly Posting

ECHOES a monthly electronic magazine for the disaster management community in southeast Asia. The idea of this kind of information exchange emerged after a survey which was conducted after the 1st email discussion was held between August 15-September 15, 2003. A concept note was written and the consensus from the participating partner organizations was sought. ECHOES is hosted on the pdrsea webpage under the information component of the project. Subscription is free and is open to all. The objective of the monthly posting is to provide an informal platform and to encourage more information sharing between the members of the community. To subscribe you may send an email to: ambika@adpc.net.
