The Objective AADMER
  • To provide effective mechanisms to achieve
    substantial reduction of disaster loss in lives
    and in the social, economic and environmental
    assets of the Parties, and to jointly respond
    through disaster emergencies through concerted
    national efforts and intensified regional and
    international co-operation

    Monitoring
  • Disaster Prevention and Mitigation

    Mitigation Committee (Report to The Cabinet)
  • Strategic Department of Disaster Prevention and
    Mitigation (DDPM) (Report to MOI)
  • Strategic/Tactical Level The Provinces (Report
    to MOI through DDPM)
  • Operational Level Local governments (Report to
    Provincial Governor)

7
National Plan for Disaster Prevention and
Mitigation
  • The National Plan for Disaster Prevention and
    Mitigation is the very important mechanism for
    disaster management work in the country.
  • Procedures for actions of (1) Pre-disaster (2)
    during disaster and (3) after disaster are the
    main parts of the National Plan
  • Provisions under the National Plan
  • Conceptual Framework of disaster management
  • Classification of disaster scale
  • Role and Responsibility of government ministries
    , agencies, state enterprises etc.
  • Standard Operating Procedure
  • Communication line and means
  • Tools, equipment and personnel

When a disaster strikes
  • National/Provincial/local Plans shall be
    activated
  • Local government shall react first
  • Neighboring local governments shall assist
  • Provincial government to support
  • DDPM shall support and coordinate with other
    national agencies

Challenges
  • There are many actors in disaster management
    system in Thailand. It is a big challenge to give
    an equal or suitable role to all
  • As Thailand is not much a disaster prone
    country, to make the disaster risk reduction on
    top of the National Agenda is not an easy job
  • The challenge will be on the shoulder of DDPM, as
    the National Focal Point in Disaster Management,
    to start the process of linking national
    mechanism with the AADMER

16
The Road Ahead
  • Establishment of a national committee (or
    sub-committee under the National DPM Committee,
    that would be directly responsible for the
    Implementation of the Agreement
  • Formulation of National SOPs (Request and Offer
    Assistance)
  • Establishment of SAR team, ERAT relief teams
    that has the international capacity
  • Make the AADMER more widely known to other
    agencies/organizations and have more engagements
    from them
  • Others
