In order to fulfil EPWG’s mandate and continue to promote better emergency preparedness in the region, the EPCC will undertake the missions: Raise Risk Awareness, Empower Grass-root Capacity on Disaster Risk Reduction and Enhance Resilience.

Cross-fora collaborations with PPSTI, SMEWG, ACTWG, HRDWG, TPTWG, PPWE, CTI, ABAC and regional institutes will guarantee the project deliverables to produce crosscutting outcomes related to demanding issues in the APEC region.
