DirectRooms.com – Conference to Address Challenges of Natural Disasters is taking place in Luang Pra

The Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre is sponsoring and hosting the International Conference on Flood Risk Reduction and Land Management in the Mekong Basin from the 23rd -25th February 2011. The conference is meant to bring together experts from Asian and Pacific countries to discuss the problem of flooding.

Organisers hope that the expertise and experience of various countries all gathered together during these meetings will help to create a better plan to tackle this rising issue in Southeast Asian countries.

Some of the themes of the conference will be effective flood management and mitigation, effective land use planning, Mekong Children’s Forum focusing on the changing climate, and partnerships for flood planning at sub-national levels.

It is the hope of organisers that these meetings in Luang Prabang will create a forum for exploring this important topic and create a plan that can be implemented in the Mekong Basin.
