Experiences and lessons learnt from past disasters in Japan must be adaptable for other countries around the world with consideration of geographical and social conditions and types of disasters. Therefore, we tried to support countries to mainstream DWM and develop their own DWM plan by disseminating such Japanese experiences and comprehensive information through development of the framework of DWM Guideline in Asia and the Pacific.
We developed this framework by reviewing, comparing and analyzing various DWM guidelines and taking into account for flexibility and applicability in Asia and the Pacific area. This consists of Introduction part, Review part and Planning part. In Review part, we developed the mapping of the guidelines on DWM currently issued to understand each feature to identify the covered area. And also developed the framework of DWM plan including both preparedness and implementation plans In Planning part, based on the review, the DWM plan shall be consisted of two components such as the “Preparedness Plan for disasters” and “Implementation Plan after disasters”. As the way forward, This framework document is expected to take preparatory steps for future enhancement and mainstreaming of DWM in Asia and the Pacific.
