ASEAN disaster risk communication framework

The ASEAN Disaster Risk Communication Framework (ADRCF) is a guiding framework designed to support the improvement and harmonisation of disaster risk communication efforts across ASEAN Member States before, during, and after disasters. The Framework is of particular value in ASEAN, a region, which experiences frequent, severe natural hazard events. The ADRCF is an integral component of the region’s efforts to mitigate the impact of disasters, as outlined in the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER). 

The ADRCF provides a common point of reference for stakeholders in the ASEAN region on the goals and processes of disaster risk communication, including national agencies, ASEAN centres, regional entities and international partners. It also aims to engage these stakeholders in a dynamic process, ensuring that informed decisions and actions continually enhance risk communication across the region.
