The Asia-Pacific region is of particular importance to the United States because it bears the brunt of more than half of the world's natural disasters and is home to numerous key U.S. allies. In an effort to improve the effectiveness of HA/DR operations in the future, this report analyzes recent operations in Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Japan, and identifies lessons that have emerged in the areas of (1) interagency coordination, (2) communication with the affected country, (3) coordination with other state and non-state actors, (4) prospects for U.S. security cooperation and building partner capacity for HA/DR, and (5) prospects for the increased involvement of regional organizations in HA/DR. This report also identifies complementary capabilities and comparative advantages that exist around the region, presents options for leveraging these capabilities to deal with future disasters, and assesses various crisis management mechanisms involving allies and partners that can be applied to other contingencies. 606 $aDisaster relief$zPacific Area$vCase studies 606 $aHumanitarian assistance$zPacific Area$vCase studies 606 $aHumanitarian assistance$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aIntegrated operations (Military science)$vCase studies 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xCivic action$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aDoD (HA/DR) operations 615 0$aDisaster relief 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance$xEvaluation. 615 0$aIntegrated operations (Military science) 676 $a363.3480973 700 $aMoroney$b Jennifer D.
