top 5 most disaster prone countries globally. Asia is also the region
most seriously affected by the impacts of disasters.
Population growth
and greater wealth in Asia’s fast-growing economies on one hand, and
persisting poverty that leaves large numbers of people vulnerable on the
other hand are contributing factors to the ever-increasing economic and
human costs of disasters. Rapid urbanisation, the location of several
Asian mega cities in river deltas, chronic conflicts and complex urban
infrastructure exacerbating this.

delivering high quality and gender-equitable humanitarian assistance and
by working with communities and governments before, during and after
disasters in order to decrease levels of vulnerability and increase
resilience to shocks.
