Laigo, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippines\u003cbr/\u003eThe current El Nino - which means \"baby boy\" - is the worst on record. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's caused by the occasional warming of surface waters in the Pacific Ocean, which then wreaks havoc with normal weather patterns around the world. \u003cbr/\u003eIn Asia it has led to droughts and - in Indonesia - disastrous fires. \u003cbr/\u003eThe resulting smoke cloud caused huge problems in Malaysia - whose Minister of Information is one of those taking part in the conference.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are now paying serious attention on the question of disaster management, and I hope that through this meeting we will be able to learn from the experience of others on how to prepare ourselves and to mitigate disaster.

We have learned a lot of lessons of that. The main thing now is how we can get prepared, in the question of early warning, in the question of actions to be taken, and from our experience in the last haze, I think we are better prepared now. And the fact that we already established national committee on disaster, because we have considered (the) haze a disaster, I think for the future we are better prepared to handle such (a) situation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: YB Datuk Seri Mohammed Bin Rahmat, Minister of Information, Malaysia\u003cbr/\u003eA unique feature of this conference is the first ever Regional Climate Outlook Forum. \u003cbr/\u003eRepresentatives from 15 Asian meteorological services pooled their expertise to produce guidance on what to expect in the coming months. \u003cbr/\u003eIts scope will be extended later on.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"The climate forecast specialists who gathered yesterday (Monday) took the season out for three months - February, March and April - and during that period, below average rainfall will exist throughout a large part of the region.
