It aims to provide capacity building on disaster risk financing and insurance (DRFI) in ASEAN Member States. DRFI is a relatively new topic and, therefore, training and capacity building of local stakeholders is essential. Governments must understand the benefits and the limitations of disaster risk financing and insurance as part of their comprehensive Disaster Risk Management (DRM) strategies. This report presents main findings and recommendations on DRFI in the ASEAN region. Following the World Bank disaster risk financing and insurance framework, it consists of five chapters, including this introduction. Chapter two presents a preliminary economic and fiscal risk assessment of natural disasters in ASEAN Member States. Chapter three provides an overview of the fiscal management of natural disasters currently implemented by ASEAN Member States. Chapter four reviews the state of the private catastrophe insurance markets, including property catastrophe risk insurance, agricultural insurance, and disaster micro-insurance. Chapter five identifies five main recommendations for strengthening the long-term financial and fiscal resilience of ASEAN Member States against natural disasters, as part of their broader disaster risk management and climate change adaptation agendas.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADAPTATION ACTIVITIESADAPTINGADAPTIVE CAPACITYAGRICULTURAL INSURANCEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIR POLLUTIONAVALANCHEBANKSBUILDING CODESCAPACITY BUILDINGCASUALTIESCATASTROPHE RISKCATASTROPHIC IMPACTSCIVIL DEFENSECLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATESCOASTAL FLOODCOMMUNITY EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSCONTINGENCY PLANCONTINGENCY PLANSDAMAGE ASSESSMENTDAMAGESDENGUEDEVELOPMENT PLANSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDISASTERDISASTER ALERTDISASTER EVENTSDISASTER INFORMATIONDISASTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENTDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESDISASTER MANAGEMENT TRAININGDISASTER MONITORINGDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER PRONE COUNTRIESDISASTER RECONSTRUCTIONDISASTER RECOVERYDISASTER RESILIENCEDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK ASSESSMENTSDISASTER RISK FINANCINGDISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISASTER SITUATIONSDISASTER-PRONE COUNTRIESDISEASE OUTBREAKSDISSEMINATIONDROUGHTDROUGHT INDICESDROUGHT MITIGATIONDROUGHTSDRY SEASONDRY SEASONSEARLY WARNINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSEARLY WARNINGSEARTHQUAKEEARTHQUAKESECONOMIC CHANGESECONOMIC GROWTHEL NINOEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY MANAGEMENTEMERGENCY PLANEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY RESPONSEENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEPIDEMICEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHERFARMERSFIRE FIGHTINGFIRESFLOODFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD FORECASTINGFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD SECURITYFOREST FIREFOREST FIRESGEOPOLITICAL INSTABILITYGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEAVY RAINFALLHOSPITALHUMAN SETTLEMENTHUMAN SETTLEMENTSHUMANITARIAN AFFAIRSHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCEIMPLEMENT ADAPTATIONINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINFECTIOUS DISEASESINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCEINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONLANDSLIDELANDSLIDESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOSSES FROM FLOODSMALARIAMANMADE DISASTERSMIGRATIONMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF HEALTHMITIGATIONMORTALITYMORTALITY RISKNATIONAL ACTIONNATIONAL ACTION PLANNATIONAL COMMITTEENATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL PROGRESSNATIONAL SECURITYNATIONAL STRATEGIESNATIONAL STRATEGYNATURAL CATASTROPHESNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDNATURAL HAZARDSNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF PEOPLEPANDEMICSPHYSICAL DAMAGESPLAN OF ACTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION INCREASEPOPULATION MIGRATIONPROGRESSPUBLIC AWARENESSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC HEALTHRADIATION PROTECTIONRADIORAINFORESTREGIONAL BANKSREINSURANCERELIEFRELIEF ASSISTANCERESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESOURCE NEEDSRESPECTRISK ANALYSESRISK ANALYSISRISK ASSESSMENTRISK EXPOSURERISK MANAGEMENT PROJECTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTSAFETYSAVINGSSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CURRICULASCHOOL CURRICULUMSCHOOL SYSTEMSSEA LEVELSEARCH AND RESCUESECTORAL POLICIESSMALLPOXSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL RETURNSSOCIAL VULNERABILITYSOCIAL WELFARESOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSOIL EROSIONSOUTHERN OSCILLATIONSPILLOVERSTORMSTORMSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECTONIC PLATESTELEVISIONTHUNDERSTORMSTORNADOESTROPICAL CYCLONETROPICAL CYCLONESTROPICAL STORMTROPICAL STORMSTSUNAMITSUNAMISTYPHOONTYPHOONSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONVOLCANIC ERUPTIONVOLCANIC ERUPTIONSVOLCANOVOLCANOESVULNERABILITYVULNERABILITY TO NATURAL DISASTERSWATER RESOURCESWATER SHORTAGESWorld Bank10.1596/12628
