Welcome to the Information Platform!
This is an internal project site dedicated to the mapping of national disaster laws of the 10 State Parties to the ASEAN Agreement for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER).
About this project.
This disaster law mapping project is a partnership between:
- The IFRC, Asia Pacific Disaster Law Programme
- The ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM)
The project is part of the cross-cutting strategy of implementing the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), under the AADMER Work Programme for 2016-2020. The AADMER is a regional agreement between the 10 ASEAN Member States, which aims to promote effective disaster risk management at both national and regional levels. Also relevant is a separate agreement the ASEAN Member States made to implement one of the AADMER commitments. It is the ASEAN Agreement on the Establishment of the ASEAN Co-ordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre Agreement).
This peer platform is intended to provide opportunities for shared learning between ASEAN Member States (ASEAN MS), and to support research and case studies. It is a document-based analysis, and not an assessment of current practice. It focuses on disaster preparedness and response.
The project has also produced a regional report that provides the evidence base for assessing the AADMER provisions’ implementation across the ASEAN MS domestic legal frameworks. The report looks at regional trends in disaster risk management law and policy, based on the themes in the AADMER. It identifies useful examples for peer exchange sharing, and makes recommendations to guide next steps.
More detailed country surveys were also produced to support ASEAN MS future work around AADMER implementation. These surveys are included with the country profiles on this platform as working documents that can be updated in response to changes in national laws and policies, and as more country-level research is done.

How the laws were mapped.
This project focuses on the AADMER obligations related to disaster preparedness and response.
Domestic laws and policies were analyzed based on grouping the AADMER articles under six main themes that are part of the AADMER:
This project was done using resources available in English only.
A table that sets out the full mapping of these disaster preparedness and response themes with the relevant articles from the AADMER can be downloaded here. The following table summarises the main categories used for the mapping process.
