The occurrence of natural disasters in South East Asia and the international cooperation in the field of preventing their negative consequences

Summary/Abstract: South East Asia is marked by a high vulnerability to natural disasters. The region includes the following countries: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Viet Nam. They participate and cooperate in international institutions. The hypothesis of the article is: the participation of countries from the region of South East Asia in international organizations is a good way to prevent the negative consequences of natural disasters. This was positively verified. International cooperation is a good way to prevent the effects of these kinds of phenomena because it enables: to request disaster relief assistance from other countries by a state or states with insufficient capacity to overcome its impact, to counteract the impact on the region of a natural disaster occurring in a country or countries in cases where this kind of phenomena is expected to have a significant impact on the region.
