Background

• APEC Ministers endorsed the APEC Framework for
  Capacity Building Initiatives on Emergency
  Preparedness in 1998
• Chi-Chi Earthquake in Chinese Taipei in 1999
• At EWG 19, Chinese Taipei proposed the initiative
  on earthquake response cooperation, which was
  endorsed by EWG 19 and included in APEC Energy
  Ministers declaration
• The Program was approved in EWG 20 and supported
  by Mexico, Chile, China, Japan, Korea, New
  Zealand, Peru, the US etc.

5
Objectives

• To establish a cooperative contingency mechanism
  among the APEC member economies for energy supply
  systems in response to earthquakes
• To provide the opportunity for APEC member
  economies to share their experiences in both
  preventing the collapse of energy supply systems
  during earthquakes and rebuilding these systems
  after earthquakes

6
Program Scope and Emphases

• Scope Experience and information sharing,
  capacity building, cooperative system planning
  and establishment
• Time frame January 2001 to December 2003
• Emphasis for each Phase
• Phase 1 Emergency response system and
  earthquake experience of energy infrastructure
• Phase 2 Regulations and earthquake engineering
  of energy infrastructure
• Phase 3 Cooperative mechanism

7
