Result of the CCOP Project; Tsunami Risk Reduction and Hazard Mitigation in South and Southeast Asia Phase II.
The East and Southeast Asia region, much of it situated on the ‘Pacific Rim’, has always been vulnerable to geohazards such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often culminating in extensive economic damage and human tragedy. The Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) is the main Southeast and East Asia Geoscience inter-government agency that play the major role on prevention and mitigation on geohazards impacts in order to reduce the risk of communities within the region. Flooding and landslides have also taken a heavy toll and for these reasons CCOP, in its determination to remain an organisation relevant to the needs of society, has devoted an ever increasing effort to its programme on Geohazards in recent years.   more
