The Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) and AIT agreed to set up a joint steering committee, similar to that in place between AIT and UNEP.RRC.AP. The agreement was reached during a 3 May meeting with Dr. Bhichit Rattakul, ADPC Executive Director; Mr. Boon Tiong Tay (Director, Finance and Project Manager, UNDP Early Warning System and Preparedness Project); Mr. Oliver Fall (Executive Coordinator, Office of the Executive Director); and the AIT administration including AIT President Said Irandoust and Prof. Vilas Wuwonse, AIT Vice President for External Relations. The setting up of the joint steering committee aims at strengthening the interactions between AIT and ADPC, and towards identifying areas in which there could be strategic partnerships.
