Background of Disaster Prevention and Management Research and Development Center,

Graduate School of Social Development and Management Strategy

Origin and Significance

Due to the great flood in 2011, Thailand lost many lives as well as much wealth. Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) summarized the latest number of loss in the industrial sector and among households at approximately 262,177 million Baht (as reported on December 6, 2011.) This did not include an indication of the response caused by other damages. The incident was an indication of the response caused by confusion of the data. As a result, the solution was inappropriate. For this reason, the National Institute of Development Administration, which is the country's top educational institution, has realized the importance in finding ways to defend and solve environmental problems that are expected to intensify and established a research and development center for disaster prevention and management to be an agency and a source of knowledge that serves to search and collect information on various disasters and find ways to effectively prevent and cope with natural disasters that will occur within the country.
