While a national disaster management framework is in place, the government must investigate ways to empower all stakeholders to improve coordination, responses and future preparedness to natural disasters.

Adaptation measures need to be formulated and implemented based on vulnerabilities of different localities. This paper looks at the vulnerabilities of the urban poor in Southeast Asian cities by using the cases of Jakarta and Manila, given that they are already susceptible to regular weather related disasters. While the relation between climate change and extreme weather events may be contested, cities continue to struggle to respond effectively to weather related disasters. This paper argues that various adaptation measures should be a part of holistic urban planning that involves collaborative partnership between local, national and international state and non-state actors.

As more climate change results in more devastating cyclones, how can the region better prepare for future emergencies?

This edition of NTS Alert therefore takes a look at how far negotiations have come a year on since Bali.
