Data Consolidation Meeting in Jakarta

ESCAP Regional Adviser on DRR co-chairs IOWave16 Indonesia Data Consolidation Meeting

15 September 2016

Under the joint leadership of Deputy Minister / Deputy Chief for Disaster Prevention and Preparedness of Indonesia and United Nations ESCAP Regional Adviser on DRR, the team of IOWave16 Indonesia conducted a data consolidation meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia.

IOWave16 represents a series of mock tsunami drills carried out on September 7-8 in 24 Indian Ocean countries to test standard operating procedures of emergency services. Tsunamis’ destructive force presents a great risk for lives and livelihoods in the exposed areas in Asia and the Pacific. It is therefore essential to effectively respond to tsunami emergency situations.
