The Asia Megacities Forum 2006 (AMF 2006) was jointly organized by the Earthquake and Megacities Initiative (EMI) and the Kobe University Research Center for Urban Safety and Security (RCUSS), as a contribution to the implementation of the Hyogo Framework of Action
(HFA). The HFA urges states, the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN-ISDR), and international and regional organizations to take steps to reduce the emerging risks associated with the vulnerability of mega-urban agglomerations.
