Events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami highlighted the trans-boundary nature of some coastal hazards and the importance of regional cooperation. Inter and Intra regional cooperation were addressed within the CABARET project Work Package 5, with the aim of addressing capacity building in the region. The main objective was to develop a capacity building road-map based on inter and intra regional cooperation as a means to improve multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster resilience (MHEW) among coastal communities in South-East Asia.
