Why an APEC Strategy? A Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) enabler – –stimulate and contribute to knowledge, capacities and motivations of States to build disaster resilient economies and communities Align and strengthen APEC´s regional emergency preparedness capacity-building programs – –no strategic and long-term TFEP strategy (nb. mandate) – –set priorities to steer forward work program of TFEP; but also SMEWG, HWG, CTTF, ISTWG, TELWG, ATCWG, SCCP, GFPN, etc

Align with other regional organisations – –complement, not duplicate – –what are APEC´s comparative advantages?   multi-sectoral participation, public-private sector partnerships, broad regional reach, and high-level political involvement   unique emphasis on economic and business dimensions of emergency management (community resilience important too)

Coordinated action and shared responsibility essential – –unlikely any economy could cope with a catastrophic event alone – –economic interdependence means effects of a disaster are rarely limited to one economy
