It is with great pleasure that ADPC presents the working paper on Standard Operation Procedures of Urban Disaster Management in the Municipality of Bandung prepared by the Indonesian Urban Disaster Mitigation Project (IUDMP). The IUDMP is one of the national demonstration projects under the Asian Urban Disaster Mitigation Program (AUDMP). The AUDMP, which is currently being implemented in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, has demonstrated successful methodologies and approaches in mitigating the impact of the natural disasters in the region. During implementation of the national demonstration projects by country partners, there has been continuous building of knowledge and experience emanating from the country projects. The national demonstration projects have produced wealth of knowledge in the form of hazard maps, reports, proceedings, review of policies, documentation of various events and
activities, etc.
