Tsunami DRR Workshop 2016
In order to further promote tsunami DRR and the World Tsunami Awareness Day, ADRC together with Cabinet Office, Japan, organised in the fiscal year 2016, two workshops on tsunami DRR, one in Lima, Peru and another in Krabi, Thailand for the purpose of sharing lessons learnt from tsunami in the past and discussing future challenges towards effective tsunami disaster risk reduction through multi-sectoral and inter-disciplinary efforts.
The former highlighted effects of tsunami on economy and supply chain as well as tsunami DRR policies, while the latter addressed the challenges at local and community level facing tsunami.
The two workshops were actively supported by many Asia Pacific countries that have experienced severe damages caused by tsunami and shared the similar DRR challenges. Huge scale of tsunami will not happen frequently, it will thus be effective to share the experiences among tsunami affected countries in order to draw more and more lessons that we could learn in one country.
