“During the last 5 years, the AHA Centre has been playing a very important role in coordinating ASEAN Member States to act as one in case of emergencies. From now on, the AHA Centre needs to reform itself to lead One ASEAN, One Response. To do so, the AHA Centre will have to take initiatives to capitalise everything that each Member State has in order to combat bigger disasters. I hope that the AHA Centre will be the main actor in disaster management.”
