In Malaysia, IFRC Disaster Law works alongside Malaysian Red Crescent Society to advocate for the strengthening of disaster law legislation at national and local levels. IFRC Disaster Law has conducted a desk review of national level disaster laws and policies in Malaysia, as part of a project analysing the disaster laws of ASEAN Member States. The desk review focused specifically on the implementation of the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) at domestic level and culminated in a collection of Country Profiles and a Regional Stocktake.
