- The provision of early disaster information and regional disaster mechanism by enhancing readiness activities and emergency response capabilities are critical in responding to disaster
- A Multi-hazards Early Warning System is critical in delivering early A good quality system supported by well-maintained preparedness will lead to timely and efficient early action, including pre-positioning stocks and pre-agreed early actions based on projected hazards.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
- Define ASEAN’s early actions and its implications to enhance early warning
- Invest on frontier analyses and technologies to achieve better early warning capabilities to support ASEAN’s early
- Incorporate an early warning system component to enhance regional emergency response
