Policy Brief - HKJCDPRI Center of Excellence in Disaster Training and Response: Forging a Collaborative Regionally-Focused and Community-Centric Agenda

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Disaster Preparedness & Response Institute (HKJCDPRI), launched in 2014, is focused on establishing an evidence base in support of “effective disaster preparedness and response, both for Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific region.” This policy brief proposes a detailed agenda for the HKJCDPRI Center of Excellence in Disaster Preparedness and Response. Acknowledging the growing global shift from top-down emergency response systems to contextualized community-specific approaches, and the WHO-led coordination and standardization of Emergency Medical Teams, this brief outlines a research and training agenda that prioritizes community resilience.

 

This brief recommends that HKJCDPRI to adapt the Anticipation, Assessment, Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery (AA-PP-RR) disaster management cycle model as the common language framework for continuing education, research and analysis. It also calls for an increased awareness of the need for community-cognisant approaches to be incorporated into HKJCDPRI’s training and research agenda. The brief recommends that HJKCDPRI leverage its vast network of regional and international partners to lead multi-disciplinary, simulation-based training in disaster preparedness and response.
