Strategic GoalStrategic Goal
1. The more effective integration of disaster risk considerations into sustainable development policies, planning and programming at all levels, with a special emphasis on disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness and vulnerability reduction.
2. The development and strengthening of institutions, mechanisms and capacities at all levels, in particular at the community level, that can systematically contribute to building resilience to hazards.
3. The systematic incorporation of risk reduction approaches into the design and implementation of emergency preparedness response and recovery programmes in the reconstruction of affected communities.
Myanmar Implementation in connection with Myanmar Implementation in connection with Five Priorities ActionFive Priorities Action
1. To ensure that disaster risk reduction is a national and local priority with a strong institutional basis for implementation
– Central Committee for National Disaster Prevention.– Management Working Committee.– 10 – Sub-committees.– Local Committees of Different Levels.
2. To identify assess and monitor disaster risk and enhance early warning
– Daily Weather Report.– Monthly weather Forecasting Report.– Warning – Flood– Storm– Heavy Rain– Tidal Wave
13
3. To use knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels
– Disaster Management Courses.– School Curricula.– Public Education.– Lectures– Radio and T.V Talks.– Pamphlet.– Leaflet.– Bill Board.– Sign Board.
22
4. To reduce underlying risk factor– Town Plan.– Cottage to Apartment.
– Post-disaster Reconstruction to Development.
5. To strengthen disaster preparedness for effective response for all levels

ACDM ActionACDM Action
The Ministerial Meeting of ACDM, held in December 2004 at Phnom Penh, Cambodia gave ACDM, the mandate to negotiate a draft on ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response. After the discussions and negotiations on the draft, the Agreement was signed on 26 July 2005 at 38th Meeting of ASEAN Foreign Ministers in Vientiane, Lao PDR. The Standard Operating Procedure and Cooperating System are under process and, the mutual cooperation in the field of disaster management will be realizedin the near future. As the Hyogo Framework for action 2005-2015 is included in this Agreement, the action will be carried out while implementing the Agreement.
Just in this year in Myanmar
The main concept in DMNatural hazards are unstoppable phenomena.
even though we can’t stop or prevent the naturalhazards from coming, but we can manage to
reduce or even to stop the disasters caused bythe hazards by reducing the vulnerability.

•The MALA was a super cyclone. Though the storm
had crossed the coast as severe cyclonic storm (T4
level), the death toll was very low and many lives
were saved and evacuated in timely manner due to
the timely early warnings and effective public care
responses .
• 'MALA' is a success story for the disaster
management community of Myanmar.
SUMMARY OF MALASUMMARY OF MALA
( Believe it or not, only one death was reported during land crossing)
Recent Development in Potential of Disaster threatsas Myanmar perspectives
- Storm frequency is increasing recently
- Floods occrrences are inccreasing
- El Nino is on its way and is kept developing
with 80% accuracy.
- In 2006 alone, there has been one super cyclone,
four tornados, five occurrence of flash floods
took place in Myanmar

Three-year programme:
• To develop a system that will be based on and end-t o-end principle –from data collection to the provision of services a nd issuing of warnings. • Based on existing infrastructure and resources to d evelop
Five major components:- Monitoring network – seismic and sea level - Data transmission and receiving system for evaluat ion and
sharing - Data processing system for acquiring and evaluatio n - Dissemination of warnings to target communities- Training of trainers to develop tsunami awareness in the target
areas
The system will be integrated into the existing nat ional disaster management system, and will also contribute to the IOTWS. Close links with International organizations such as IOC, GLOSS , GOOS, WMO, WSSI, ADPC, ADRC, JMA, YSB, ESCAP, etc. is also env isaged.
