The project 'Development of Climate/Disaster Risk Assessment and Application of Risk Information in Development Planning in Thailand', spanning from June 2015 to February 2016, will assess and quantify disaster risk for 2 pilot provinces of Thailand, namely Chiang Rai and Songkhla.

The project will first develop intensity maps of prevailing hazards in the selected provinces, collect data on the at-risk elements, study the vulnerability, and finally derive the risk or possible impact of the hazards on those at-risk vulnerable elements. The project will work closely with national agencies such as the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) and Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), sub-national and provincial government agencies, as well as UNDP Thailand to ensure that the outcomes of the disaster risk assessment process under this project can be fed seamlessly into the provincial developmental planning process in the future.
