PWA responds to natural disasters around the Asia-Pacific through local partnerships, engaging in immediate relief and recovery programs. We coordinate with our network of NGO’s, national governments and international responders.

This Initiative strengthens preparedness and response at the city level. PWA, Vietnam and U.S. sister cities are working together to share best practices and innovative technology in disaster management.

This Initiative increases connectivity and coordination among military and civilian disaster managers in the U.S. and Japan. The multi-year initiative features hands-on workshops, policy forums and published reports on civil-military HA/DR cooperation.
