The Asian Disaster
Preparedness Center (ADPC) is an inter-governmental organization that
has worked to build the resilience of people and institutions to
disasters and climate change impacts in Asia and the Pacific since 1986.
Established as a technical capacity building center, ADPC has grown and
diversified its expertise across social and physical sciences to
support sustainable solutions for risk reduction and risk management
across a broad range of specialist areas.
ADPC develops and implements
cross-sectoral programs and projects on strategic themes of risk
governance, urban resilience, climate resilience, health risk
management, preparedness for response and resilient recovery. Our
strategic themes are complemented and underpinned by the cross-cutting
themes of gender and diversity, regional and transboundary cooperation
as well as poverty reduction and livelihoods.

years of working experience in Asia along with the national and local
Government of its charter member countries as well as countries of the
Regional Consultative Committee (RCC) on Disaster Management. ADPC works
to build preparedness at all levels, from regional, to national,
sub-national and even to individual communities.
