Every 13th October is International Day for Disaster Reduction. Many events such as ceremonies and campaigns are held to commemorate how people and communities around the world are reducing their exposure to disasters. The theme of 2018 is “Reducing the economic losses from disasters has the power to transform lives”. In Myanmar, our team members also took part in the events in Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon and Pathein as DRR Working Group Member in the country! In Nay Pyi Taw, H.E. U Henry Van Thio, Vice President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar cum Chairman of the Disaster Management Committee and distinguished guests visited our booth after the ceremony.
