the Palace Hotel Kota KInabalu and was officially opened by the
Director of DID Ir. Ho Jin Wah. He noted that this was a 'starter
seminar' and therefore there was no theme given and topics to be

seminar is planned to be held once a year. Topics presented were

WORLD WATER DAY In conjunction with the World Day for Water 2004 (22 March - as declared by United Nation General Assembly), the Malayisa National Committee for International Hydrological Programme (IHP) in collaboration with Bahagian Keselamatan Negara, Prime Minister Department and other related government agencies will be holding a special launch and celebration in Centre Point Shopping Complex, Kota Kinabalu between 8 - 9 May 2004. Water and Disasters is the theme for World Water Day 2004. This is in concurrent with the relevant provisions of the ministerial declaration of the ministerial conference of The Third World Water Forum, held at Kyoto, Japan on 22 and 23 March 2003, on water related disasters. Weather, climate and water resources can have a devastating impact on socio-economic development and on well being of humankind. According to the World Meteorological Organisation weather and climate related extreme events, such as thunderstorms, storms, cyclones, floods, drought and landslides, account for nearly 75% of all disasters. The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reductions resolution (I) has emphasized that disaster reduction, including reducing vulnerability to natural disasters, is an important element that contributes to the achievement of sustainable development. As we have realized that the occurrence of natural water related disasters such as floods, drought and land slides had became more severe and frequent in recent years which have resulted in massive loss of life and long term negative social, economic and environmental consequences for vulnerable societies through out the world. The need to respond to the importance of strengthened coordination and cooperation to integrate activities and expertise of various sectors involved in the earlier warning process which was highlighted in the Review of the Yokohama Strategy for a safe world : guidelines for national disasters prevention, preparedness and mitigation and its plan of Action. Among
the activities planned in conjunction with the celebration in Malayisa
are colouring and drawing contests for primary school students,
a special water related exhibition in Centre Point Shopping Complex
and quiz for public. The event will be officially launched by The
Right Honourable Chief Minister of Sabah. SABAH'S
