    \n
  1. To understand regional issues and global challenges related to sediment-related disaster risk, and to explore cost-effective solutions for preventing future risk;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. To exchange international best practices and national concerns in mapping and modelling sediment-related disaster (e.g. debris flow), designing the early warning system, and co-producing disaster mitigation and risk reduction strategies;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. To build up the scientific knowledge, innovation and education and strengthen the disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. To develop a set of key recommended actions to strengthen debris flow disaster policy, technical solutions, and advocacy based on science and technology for building disaster resilient society;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. To explore new insights into co-developing a long-term strategic action and an integrated framework for sediment-related disaster risk reduction and resilience<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
