East Asia Capacity Statement | Disaster Management

Asia-Pacific is the most climate-exposed and disaster-prone region in the world. As many as 65% of children in East Asia are exposed to multiple shocks which are becoming increasingly frequent, especially flooding, drought, saltwater inundation, and climate-related diseases. Children and families living in poverty are particularly vulnerable, bearing the brunt of these recurrent crises and their longterm consequences.

World Vision is deeply committed to assisting communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, ensuring long-term resilience for children and future generations. Through decades of integrated development work, we’ve cultivated strong relationships with local governments, civil society, and communities, enabling us to act swiftly and collaboratively in times of crisis. This unique positioning allows us to bridge development and humanitarian response seamlessly, reducing the impacts of disasters on vulnerable populations.
