The Asia Pacific region has been hit by multiple disasters in the past few weeks, with the earthquake in Indonesia's Sumatra province, the tsunami in Samoa and wild storms and typhoons in Asia.

Over a thousand people were confirmed dead in the Padang quake in Indonesia, while hundreds of thousands of people in the Philippines are still homeless, after three typhoons hit, within four weeks. Disaster management experts have long urged governments to focus on disaster preparedness - to reduce the level of crisis.
