The overall objective is enhanced biosecurity in South-East Asia achieved in a holistic manner through multi-sectoral involvement. The purpose of this project is to firstly provide a set of recommendations for improving biosecurity management systems in South-East Asia addressing: biosecurity awareness, legislation and guidelines, enforcement, high-risk biological materials and facilities, microbial forensics, physical and information security framework for facilities (taking into account emerging technologies) and information exchange. Secondly the project will provide effective tools to enhance capabilities to respond to highly communicable diseases or global catastrophic biological events, such as pandemics.

Risk Communication Training (25 – 27 September 2017, Hanoi, Viet Nam) (with WHO & US CDC) ASEF Public Health Network (PHN) will launch its first training initiative on Risk Communications for Public Health Emergencies. Co-organised with the General Department of Preventive Medecine, Ministry of Health Viet Nam (GDPM - MoH), this training is designed for senior government representatives anticipated to serve as Public Information Officer within their countries' Public Health Emergency Operations Centers (PHEOCs). The training covered the basics of Crisis and Emergency Risk Communications, including the psychology of a crisis, stakeholder and partner communications, and the use of social media. Participants were actively engaged during sessions aiming to increase understanding for the Risk Communication components of Joint External Evaluation, as well as national planning. The training also introduced the concept of Joint Information Centre and its variation, and participants visited Emergency Operation Centre of the Ministry of Health Viet Nam at the end of the training.
