In 2025, the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC) is offering several training programmes to support cities in disaster preparedness, climate adaptation and inclusive development. Topics include risk-informed urban planning, multi-hazard early warning systems and the integration of disaster risk reduction into local development processes.
One highlight is the 2nd Multi-Hazard Impact-Based Forecast and Warning System Hybrid Training Course from 8 to 19 September 2025. It combines an online phase (8 to 14 September) with face-to-face sessions in Bangkok (15 to 19 September). The target audience is professionals from government agencies, NGOs, international organisations and the private sector.
The course teaches practical skills for developing and implementing people-centred early warning systems for hydro-meteorological and geological hazards. Topics include risk assessment, impact-based forecasting, risk communication and innovative technologies such as AI-supported applications.
