It explores the concept of disaster (natural and man-made) and disaster management. The conceptual framework used, Security Community, guides the entire research and makes the connection between Non-Traditional Security issues and International Relations and it also serves to propose criticisms and challenges to the final construction of a desired ASEAN Community by 2015.

It is analyzed the most important disaster management mechanisms before, during and after the 2004 Indian Ocean Disaster. The response for that particular event resulted to be a turning point for ASEAN, encouraging it to implement solid institutions with the aim of preventing and coping internal/transboundary disasters in the ASEAN region. That entire purpose is answered throughout one final question: is the ASEAN Disaster Management still a work in progress? Yes, it is still a work in progress that it needs to be assessed urgently to ensure the stability and security of the region with the purpose of development, key aim of a proper Security Community.
