ADPC's Program

in Secondary Cities in Asia
(PROMISE), being implemented by the Urban
Disaster Risk Management (UDRM) team, will
conduct 1st Regional Training Course on
Hydro-Meteorological Risk Assessment and
Community Preparedness in Bangkok, Thailand,
26 March - 06 April 2007.
The course is
primarily aimed at building the capacity of
PROMISE project partners and others involved
in the hydro-meteorological risk assessment.
The training course will
introduce methodologies and tools for risk
assessment and assist in design and
implementation of risk reduction programs.
The course
will be enriched with technology
applications and methodologies as well as
Community-based Risk Assessment approaches
so that the participants will be able
toselect appropriate tools depending on the
availability of resources and data. The
participants will also be introduced to
participatory GIS techniques that can be
implemented at the community level to
improve the reliability of information
generated
through community based approaches. This
will enrich the capacity of grass root level
activists in undertaking activities for
preparedness and mitigation of
hydro-meteorological disasters.
PROMISE is
funded and supported by the US Agency for
International Development - Office of US
Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID-OFDA).
