The Regional Anticipatory Action Dialogue offers a platform for humanitarian organizations, local governments, national and regional NGOs, and all various anticipatory actors to share their perspective on disaster management and anticipatory action.

Join us as we explore the current state of disaster disaster preparedness and response, the progress and advancements made and the many challenges that are still faced today. The topics of discussion will include; identifying areas prone to disaster in the Asia-Pacific region, state of mapping and data utilization for disaster response and preparedness, and innovative approaches and proposed solutions to identify needs and address those gaps by facilitating collective anticipatory action.

This dialogue is not just an opportunity to exchange ideas but a platform for coordination, knowledge-sharing transformative action. Together, we can make a real impact in how we address disaster response and preparedness by reducing vulnerability, promoting resilience and mitigating natural disasters.

Anticipatory action can significantly reduce harm, save lives and improve disaster management.

The Regional Anticipatory Action Dialogue will take place on the 13th of June, 2023 from 1.30pm to 3.40pm (+8 UTC). The event will be virtual. Register here.
