    Abstract

    A growing risk to Southeast Asian cities is disaster, particularly hydro-meteorological events. Recently, we have witnessed deaths, displacement, and high losses due to floods and typhoons in Tacloban, Jakarta, and Bangkok. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts that by 2050, seven-tenths of Ho Chi Minh City could be affected by episodes of extreme flooding.
