warning systems for hydro-meteorological & geological hazards and extreme 
events associated with climate change and variability. It builds upon ADPC's 
two decades of experience in disaster management, facilitating regional 
cooperation and building capacities of disaster management institutions at 
all government levels, disaster management practitioners and communities. It 
extends to institutionalizing weather and climate information applications 
for disaster mitigation and recently, in the implementation of Indian Ocean 
and South East Asia end-to-end early warning system for tsunami and 
hydro-meteorological hazards.
