520    The Department of Defense has long been able to play a 
       major role in international humanitarian assistance and 
       disaster response (HA/DR) due to its unique capabilities, 
       manpower, and forward-deployed resources. The Asia-Pacific
       region is of particular importance to the United States 
       because it bears the brunt of more than half of the 
       world's natural disasters and is home to numerous key U.S.
       allies. In an effort to improve the effectiveness of HA/DR
       operations in the future, this report analyzes recent 
       operations in Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Japan, and 
       identifies lessons that have emerged in the areas of (1) 
       interagency coordination, (2) communication with the 
       affected country, (3) coordination with other state and 
       non-state actors, (4) prospects for U.S. security 
       cooperation and building partner capacity for HA/DR, and 
       (5) prospects for the increased involvement of regional 
       organizations in HA/DR. This report also identifies 
       complementary capabilities and comparative advantages that
       exist around the region, presents options for leveraging 
       these capabilities to deal with future disasters, and 
       assesses various crisis management mechanisms involving 
       allies and partners that can be applied to other 
       contingencies.
