List of
AHA CENTRE RESPONSES

The AHA Centre’s responses include two key components: emergency response missions and preparedness & assessment missions. Emergency response missions are activated immediately following a disaster, involving rapid deployment of resources and personnel to assist affected areas and coordinate relief efforts. Preparedness & assessment missions focus on evaluating risks, enhancing disaster readiness, and conducting training and simulations to ensure effective and timely responses to potential future disasters. These missions aim to strengthen the overall disaster resilience of ASEAN member states, providing a coordinated and efficient approach to immediate relief and long-term preparedness.
