• May 2008
• Estimated 140,000 lives lost
• up to 800,000 people displaced
• 450,000 houses destroyed
• Damage was most severe in the Ayeyarwady Delta
region, an area covering some 23,500 square kilometres,
known as the country’s rice bowl. The effects of cyclonic
winds were compounded by a 3-4 metre storm surge,
devastating most of the low-lying highly fertile areas.
The Major Black Swan Event: NARGIS
• The ASEAN Humanitarian Task Force for the Victims of
Cyclone Nargis
• The Tripartite Core Group (TCG)
• assess needs of people and communities, and
progress toward recovery

(PONREPP)
The Role of ASEAN during NARGIS
• Since July this year, Thailand has been affected
by a monsoon and three tropical storms – Hai
Ma, Nok Ten, Hai Tang, and Nalgae. As a result,
most of big reservoirs were almost full from
rainwater. At the same time, a huge volume of
run off causes flood in all region of the country.

• The more frequent of the “Black Swan Events”
• The expanded need for regional cooperation in
humanitarian assistance due to the changing pattern of
disasters
• The growing important role of regional cooperation
bodies in humanitarian assistance during large scale
disaster
Observations
• The role of Regional Cooperation during large scale
disaster:
• Standard Operational Procedure (SOP)
• Timely need assessment of the situation
• Capacity mapping/stockpile information
• The level of trust between member states
Observations
The more frequent of many extreme catastrophes;
where the effects went beyond one country and
created the butterfly effects throughout the world,
had triggered the need for more collaborative and
systematic humanitarian assistance at the
international and regional level.
The regional cooperation throughout the disaster
cycle (preparedness, response, and recovery) could
greatly contribute to disaster risk reduction efforts
and prevent further loss of life and properties due to
the Black Swan Events.
