Technical Standards on Anticipatory Action in Asia and the Pacific

As anticipatory action gains momentum in Asia-Pacific, there is a growing demand for coherent terminology and approaches for building an anticipatory action system. Recognizing this need, the Asia-Pacific Technical Working Group on Anticipatory Action has collectively developed Technical Standards on Anticipatory Action in Asia and the Pacific through a consultative process with its members. The document draws upon the definition and three key building blocks set out in the ASEAN Framework on Anticipatory Action in Disaster Management.
