We are pleased to announce that the ABU with the support of HBF (Hoso Bunka Foundation) has organised a “Regional Workshop on the Role of Broadcast Media in Disaster Mitigation and Management”, from the 3-5 September 2014 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This 3-day workshop will inform, sensitise and create awareness among broadcaster, other media stakeholders and national disaster management organisations in the region, on the role of media and its importance in disaster mitigation and management efforts. It will provide emphasis and demonstrate the importance of coordination and working together, among all stakeholders, through the use of proven models and Standard Operational Procedures applicable to different types of disaster situations.
