INTRODUCTION: !  Malaysia is fortunate for not experiencing major disaster except for flash

floods in major cities like Kuala Lumpur but the Malaysian Government has taken disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) as a national agenda.

!  The government of Malaysia through its various ministries, departments, agencies and local authorities has drawn up various DRR and CCA policies and measures to be implemented in response to Hyogo Framework of Actions 2005-2015

!  Putrajaya , Kuala Lumpur and Melaka has been chosen by the government as role model cities in the resilient cities campaign to be emulated nation wide

!  Disaster Awareness Campaign via the Disaster Awareness Day 2011 was held recently to raise public awareness on disaster risks as well as to promote commitment among country leaders, decision makers and local authorities towards government efforts in dealing with DRR

THE ROLE OF LANDUSE PLANNING IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION

!  Land use planning is governed under the Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172)

!  The National Urbanisation Policy incorporates Hyogo Framework for action 2005-2015

!  National Physical Plan (NPP) incorporates management of geo-hazards and CCA

DISASTER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

DISASTER AWARENESS DAY 2011

!  Disaster Awareness Day 2011 was held for the first time in Malaysia on 18-19 February 2011 to raise public awareness in disaster risks as well as to promote commitment among country leaders, decision makers and local authorities toward government efforts in disaster management and disaster risk reduction (DRR).

!  The programme, themed as “Enhance National Resilience through Disaster Risk Reduction”, was organised by the Malaysian National Security Council (MKN) with cooperation from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Housing and Local Government Malaysia in addition to the support of United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) and ASEAN Secretariat

!  Campaigns will continually be carried out to include society from all walks of life to ensure preparedness in the face of any disaster.

!  Malaysia has participated actively in the global campaign on the “Resilient Cities: My City is Getting Ready” to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances due to climate change and natural disaster

!  Hyogo Framework for action has been incorporated in the national policies in land use planning and urbanisation policy

!  DRR & CCA has now become a national agenda and campaign will be continually carried out at various levels

!  The way forward is to prepare the Malaysian community in dealing with climate change and natural disaster
