The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has adopted an integrated disaster risk management (IDRM) approach which aims at strengthening disaster resilience in its developing member countries. The approach is also applied in ADB's support for post-disaster response, early recovery and reconstruction and includes disaster response actions strengthening resilience to future hazard events. Facilitating sharing of knowledge, such as through this Regional Knowledge Forum on Post-Disaster Recovery, plays an important role in the IDRM approach. This forum was organized with support from ADB's Integrated Disaster Risk Management Fund supported by the Government of Canada.
