SEEDS Asia - Towards Safer Communities. About SEEDS Asia The mission of SEEDS Asia is to: Enhance safety and sustainability of people and communities in the Asia Pacific region to cope with natural disasters and environmental problems. SEEDS Asia rides on the more than 10-years of experience of its sister organization - SEEDS India. It is this experience that enables it to expand the concept to the Asia-Pacific region. Located in Kobe, Japan, SEEDS Asia also draws inspiration from the response mounted during the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, and the greater awareness and concentration of disaster-related organizations in Kobe. Members of SEEDS Asia Board played key roles during the World Conference on Disaster Management (Kobe, January 2004), and the actions related to implementation of the Hyogo Framework of Action 2005-2015. SEEDS Asia was formally established in September 2006. Some of the keywords that define SEEDS Asia's work include, Human Security, Disaster management and development, Environmental management, community-based disaster management, Asia and the Pacific.
