Time: 17:00-19:00 (JST)
Doors open: 16:30

Following recent large scale disasters in the East Asia and Pacific region including the March 11 earthquake and tsunami which hit Japan, large-scale flooding in Thailand as well as the tropical storm in the Philippines, mainstreaming disaster risk management (DRM) in investments and operations has become an increasingly urgent issue.

The seminar will provide an opportunity to discuss how we can make further progress on the mainstreaming issue, as well as ways to enhance collaboration across organizations to sustain these efforts. World Bank East Asia and Pacific Regional Vice President Pamela Cox will open the session with an overview of the Bank’s work on Disaster Risk Management (DRM) in the region. The session will be hosted in Tokyo and connect by video conference to audiences located in Bangkok (Thailand), Manila (Philippines), Jakarta (Indonesia), Hanoi (Vietnam) and Vientiane (Laos).

Advance registration required (first-come-first-served). Webcasting (Live Streaming via Internet) of VC will be also available.

This session is part of a larger program. For more information see Disaster Risk Management in East Asia and the Pacific - 2011 Series
