Abstract

In my present paper I would focus on the Disaster Management Organizations in south Asia: Challenges and Opportunities. South Asia is facing increasing frequency of hazards, which are leading to high magnitude disasters in the region. People who are poor and vulnerable are most impacted by those disasters. Disasters are one of the causes making poor people poorer. The hazards and disasters in South Asia have a common nature due to shared geo-physical and hydro-meteorological features; and human interventions. In addition, the experience and root causes of disasters are common across the region. This reality provides the essential basis for the need, as well as the opportunity, for regional action. SAARC Social Charter; establishing the SAARC Coastal Zone Management Centre in Male, the SAARC Meteorological Research Centre in Dhaka, the SAARC Centre for Disaster.
