of dykes along Black & Red rivers

• Reduce impacts to lives and

The Online Southeast Asia Disaster Inventory (OSADI) is a web-based

disaster database that compiles historical records of disasters in ASEAN

Member Countries, hazard maps and other spatial disaster-related data.

OSADI is part of the ASEAN Disaster Information Sharing and

Communication Network (ASEAN DISCNet) project, which is a priority

activity under the ASEAN Regional Programme on Disaster

Management (ARPDM), 2004-2010.

It is expected that OSADI will facilitate disaster management information

sharing among ASEAN Member Countries and support decision making

processes at all levels of disaster management – from policy making to

preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery activities.

OSADI is developed by the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management

(ACDM) with technical assistance of the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC).
