Toward A Disaster Resilient Region: Examining US-ASEAN Cooperation On Disaster Management Under the Obama Administration
Salazar, Virgemarie A. | October 2016
Abstract
This paper examines the efforts of the US and ASEAN in promoting cooperation in disaster management under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2014 to track ASEAN’s progress in implementing the objectives of AADMER. It also discusses the gaps and challenges and explores ways to further strengthen the efforts of the two parties in achieving a disaster-resilient region. While close partnerships have been formed between the US and ASEAN in the field of disaster management, cooperation has to be sustained, if not improved, in the long run to achieve a safer ASEAN Community.
