MULTIPLE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT Asia Pacific
ADRE 2014 will showcase equipment and technology covering Prevention/Mitigation, Detection, Response and Recovery of man-made and natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, major floods, fires and droughts.
And it couldn’t come at a better time –Asian governments are currently investing billions of dollars in disaster risk reduction programs as a result of major catastrophes that have impacted the region in recent years.
The past two years have been challenging ones for the Asia-Pacific region. The Great East Japan earthquake resulted in a devastating tsunami and Southeast Asian floods severely affected the ASEAN region. Thailand, suffered a staggering $294 billion loss that amounted to 80 per cent of disaster costs for the year.
However, there have been positive efforts to improve previous approaches. For example, the amount of disaster risk reduction investment by the Government of Indonesia has grown from less than 0.6 of their total budget in 2006 to more than 1 per cent in 2012.
The economic cost and consequences of Thailand’s recent floods, with total losses of THB 1.43 trillion
($46.5 billion) resulted in physical damage totaling THB 630.3 billion ($20.5 billion. And additional losses in associated economic activities has been estimated at THB 795 billion ($26 billion).
The Thai Government is now planning to spend over $11.5 billion to develop new water-resource management systems and flood prevention measures.
The business opportunities are real. Why not secure your place at this unique show today, while good space is still available.
