- Title
- Developing a National Risk Profile of Lao PDR: Part 1 Hazard Assessment
- Abstract
- The Hazard Assessment report will serve as a basis for making appropriate Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies and prioritizing them for Lao PDR's short and long term development planning. This report provides analyses and assessments of seven potential hazards in Lao PDR. The seven hazards include earthquakes, floods, landslides, epidemics, unexploded ordnances (UXOs), drought and storms. The methodology used in this hazard assessment study is primarily divided into two main phases: baseline data collection and hazard scenario development/mapping.
