Disaster Risk Reduction in Asia and the Pacific
A USAID partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Business Civic Leadership Center will establish a Pacific Rim Coordinating Center (PRCC) to address disaster risk in the region and help coordinate response. The PRCC will allow for real-time sharing of information and best practices to help communities and governments better prepare for and respond to disasters. One of the center’s first initiatives is a new mapping tool that can overlay current disaster assistance efforts, historical disaster trends, and programs that are helping build disaster resilience. For example, in Thailand, this tool enables Thai businesses that want to provide assistance to connect with non-profits and local authorities to assure that appropriate assistance is reaching the areas most in need.
