The effect...
Except for small countries like Brunei Draussslam and Singapore, South East Asia countries are likely to face one or more disasters every year (Cambodia 1/year; Indonesia 11/year; Lao PDR 1/year;Malaysia 2/year; myanmar 1/year; Philistines 12/year; Thailand 4/year; Vietnam 5/year). Major natural disasters that occurred not only look lives and destroyed human dwellings and private property, they also caused severe damage to critical infrastructures, especially those related to transportation such as roads, highways, and airport facilities. Damaged infrastructures interrupted the movement of people, goods, and services within that affected nation. Households, companies, and public agencies cannot perform their functions. A whole society can be temporarily paralyzed. In addition, damages to critical infrastructure related to transportation often caused disruption of connection between disaster-affected country and the rest of the world. For examples, interstate highways that are damaged by earthquakes or submerged by severe flooding can create problems for cross border traveling from one country to others within the same region. Likewise, damages to runways and other airport facilities can interrupt air traveling from and to such disaster-stricken country for days or even weeks. In this sense, the effects of natural disasters on critical infrastructure, especially transportation facilities, can pose challenges to physical connectivity of all member countries of ASEAN. It is, thus, recommended in this paper that policy or decision makers in each country pay more attention to disaster, its impacts and coping strategies. Each country should encourage the building of disaster management knowledge as well as strengthening its capability in mitigation against, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters. Each country should develop its comprehensive plan for protecting critical infrastructure, especially transportation cooperation in terms of disaster management. This cooperation should not only aim at providing humanitarian reliefs to disaster victims, but also addressing the question of how protect critical infrastructure related to transportation and to recover them once a disaster has happened. The better we protect and the faster we recover transportation facilities after a disaster, the quicker we can reconnect with our neighboring countries and the rest of the world. In the age of climate change where catastrophes such as Typhoon Haiyan, floods in Thailand, and Cyclone Nagis can happen in every ASEAN country at any time, lifeline robustness or infrastructural resilience in important to a community or a nation for maintaining its functions and providing social services as well as its connectivity with other parts of the world.
