Following the signing of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency  Response (AADMER) on 26 July 2005 and its entry into force in 2009, a series of AADMER Work Programmes (AWPs) has been developed. The AADMER Work Programme (AWP) 2026-2030 is the fourth AWP developed by ASEAN with the Vision to realise ASEAN as " a region of disaster-resilient nations, where disaster losses in lives, social, and environmental assets are substantially reduced through concerted national efforts, intensified regional and global cooperation and leadership, in pursuit of safer communities and sustainable resilience"
