together over 50 policy makers from national and local levels from
seven East Asian countries (Indonesia, Laos PDR, the Philippines, Vietnam,
Thailand, China and the Republic of Korea), as well as experts,

technical knowledge, share good practice from around the region, and
foster a community of committed leaders dealing with flood risks.
