PREFACE

This book represents a guidance manual for good practices in the preparation of impending
disasters by ways of promoting mitigation and risk reduction measures. As climate change is
inevitable and the effect is expected to increase every year, we have to formulate ourselves
in dealing with cost of disasters in terms of the lives lost and the damages to the social,
economic and environmental assets.

As one of the formulation measures, Centre for Global Sustainability Studies (CGSS),
Universiti Sains Malaysia in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Network for Global Change
Research (APN), Japan; International University, Vietnam National University (Vietnam);
National University of Laos (NUOL) and University of Batambong (Royal of Cambodia)
conducted hands-on training workshops for three days in Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia. We collate our resources to prepare a training curriculum to explain the DRM
cycle in these four countries. In this training, the participants use the DRM-cycle to suit the
capacity needs of the target groups in each country, whether their primary focus is pre-event
risk management or post-event disaster management. At the end of every workshop, we
have received many good reviews of the training from all the participants. As a result, it
would be a proper purpose for us to have our experiences in the training to be well
documented, thus, the guidance manual.

In this manual, we compiled all the documentations and references used in the training. We
hoped this guidance manual will assist in addressing the climate change issues by connecting

risk to climate impact, vulnerability of exposure units and the role of adaptation in
enhancing capacity to address risks to all interested parties.
