Abstract
Catastrophic events such as, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and volcanic eruptions pose detrimental effects on struggling underdeveloped and developed countries in Asia-Pacific. Additionally, impacts on lives and the environmental devastation can be avoided if disaster risk management is integrated into the long-term development planning process. Research in preemptive disaster planning states that in building a disaster resilient community, combining a strategy that encompasses government, social and development standards will significantly minimize the damage associated with such disasters. In addition to these strategies, effective organization of disaster planning can also be improved by implementation of government-designed based programs, partnerships with innovative frameworks, community based planning and disaster risk management strategies. By creating a strategy that combines government, social and development preemptive planning initiatives, countries will significantly increase the overall safety of human lives and economic impact from natural disasters.
