Asian-Pacific SysAdmin Planning
The latest Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) conference focused on building SysAdmin capability.
Foreign ministers of 26 countries and the European Union called for civilian-military coordination in disaster relief — a need that became evident during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the Myanmar cyclone in May and the China earthquake the same month. They also disclosed plans for a joint relief exercise in 2009.[1]
