ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER)

The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), adopted in 2005, is a regional multi-hazard and policy framework for cooperation, coordination, technical assistance and resource mobilization in all aspects of disaster management in the 10 ASEAN Member States.

The objective of AADMER is to provide an effective mechanism to achieve substantial reduction of disaster losses in lives and in social, economic and environmental assets, and to jointly respond to humanitarian emergencies through concerted national efforts and intensified regional and international cooperation.

AADMER represents ASEAN’s legally binding commitment to Hyogo Framework of Action. AADMER provides a legally-binding framework (encompassing governments, civilian and military organisations) for the development of operational procedures to respond collectively and expeditiously to disasters, including:

provision for movement of relief assistance, expedited customs and immigration clearances consistent with recommendations contained in the ‘Guidelines for the Domestic Facilitation and Regulation of International Disaster Relief and Initial Recovery Assistance’, more commonly referred to as the IDRL Guidelines,
utilization of military and civilian personnel/assets in disaster relief,
establishment of the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance Centre (AHA Centre),
provisions for an ASEAN Disaster Management and Emergency Relief Fund,
annual emergency responses simulation exercises: ASEAN Regional Disaster Emergency Response Simulation Exercise (ARDEX).
