I work as a disaster management communications specialist in one of the biggest INGOs. My role is focused on providing strategic communications leadership and support in the area of disaster management - emergency preparedness and risk reduction, emergency response and recovery - for 18 country offices in Asia Pacific - Cambodia, China, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, North Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Timor-Leste, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands.
I work closely with in-country, regional and global communicators and emergency teams in strengthening our organisational capacity to communicate our work before, during and after emergencies happen.
