PDC Mission

Provide applied information research and analysis

support for the development of more effective

policies, institutions, programs and information

products for the disaster management and

humanitarian assistance communities of the Asia

Pacific region and beyond.

Vietnam

Vietnam is a disaster-prone

country, impacted by

typhoons, floods / flash

floods, landslides

85M people; 50%+ rural/ag

PDC has had an active program of cooperation with Vietnam‟s national

disaster agencies for more than 4 years …

Phu Tho Province Flood Inundation

Purpose: To better understand potential inundation

areas and resulting impacts of flooding

• Scenario: hypothetical breaching

of dykes along Black & Red rivers

• Reduce impacts to lives and

property

• Allow Disaster Management

officials to refine mitigation

options and evaluate

preparedness plans, including

warning systems and evacuation

procedures

• Modeled using the DHI MIKE 21

Flood model

TENTH MEETING OF THE

ASEAN COMMITTEE ON DISASTER MANAGEMENT (ACDM)

Online Southeast Asia Disaster Inventory

Committee on

Disaster Management

The Online Southeast Asia Disaster Inventory (OSADI) is a web-based

disaster database that compiles historical records of disasters in ASEAN

Member Countries, hazard maps and other spatial disaster-related data.

OSADI is part of the ASEAN Disaster Information Sharing and

Communication Network (ASEAN DISCNet) project, which is a priority

activity under the ASEAN Regional Programme on Disaster

Management (ARPDM), 2004-2010.

It is expected that OSADI will facilitate disaster management information

sharing among ASEAN Member Countries and support decision making

processes at all levels of disaster management – from policy making to

preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities.

OSADI is developed by the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management

(ACDM) with technical assistance of the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC).
