- Abstract
The Indo-Pacific Region, a hotbed for geographical and hydro-climate disasters such as cyclones, tsunamis, floods, and typhoons, presents both direct and indirect threats to human and national security. This research seeks to bolster both forms of security by enhancing the management of these natural disasters within the region. Employing a qualitative research method, this case study is both explanatory and analytical. Data, collected through primary and secondary resources, is presented in both quantitative and qualitative forms. The research is framed from the perspective of the human security approach. The Sri Lanka Navy and Coast Guard, as the agencies responsible, strive to mitigate the effects of these disasters and provide humanitarian assistance within their jurisdictions. Their participation in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) exercises with regional and international actors underscores their commitment to human and national security.
