The Disaster Preparedness & Prevention Centre (DPPC), Malaysia – Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur will be organizing the DPPC Disaster Relief & Rapid Assessment Mission 2021 that will be held from 8 until 12 January 2021 that covers various locations in Johor and Pahang which affected by the recent flood. This tour\u00a0aims at observing the impacts of recent monsoons resulting in many riverine floods, landslides, and high-tide phenomenon related disaster in the most developing states, e.g. Johor and Pahang. We also aim at exploring good practices, benchmarking local commitments, understanding needs and demands for emerging risk, climate-induced disaster, cascading hazards, and community-led disaster risk reduction in the most vulnerable states to extreme weather, environmental degradation, rapid urbanization, and anthropogenic activity.\u00a0This program also reflects the progress of achieving global target G on multi-hazard early warning system, and disaster risk information and assessments to the people, as set by 2030. This program highlights co-design and co-develop practices of local DRR resilience strategies towards rejuvenating DRR investment, and promoting a quintuple helix innovation model on public-private-academia-civil society characterized by environmental disaster and systemic risk. A multi-sectoral engagement, benchmarking good practices, field reconnaissance and site visit are the focus of our activities with the great support of various strategic partners at federal, state and local level. This program objectives are to:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
