Overview: Countries in disaster-prone regions need to manage their disaster risks with a long-term view, going beyond disaster reconstruction and relief. The heart of a country's strategy for managing disaster risk should not be loss-financing. Instead, it should be development enhancing to optimize post-loss funding capacity and budgetary discipline to protect and sustain current and future development projects. Against this background and drawing lessons from the recent Asian tsunami disaster, this paper proposes that risk financing, disaster mitigation, knowledge management, and an accountability governance framework must be built into future and existing disaster risk management frameworks to protect and sustain current and future development projects of Southeast Asian countries.
