  1. The 4th annual Quad (Japan-Australia-India-U.S.) Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response (HADR) Tabletop Exercise and Strategic Meeting was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, from December 2-5, 2025.
  2. This annual event brings together government officials from Japan, Australia, India and the United States to strengthen our disaster-response capabilities across the Indo-Pacific. It underscores the Quad’s commitment to reliable and effective lifesaving support for the people of the region.
  3. As a founding pillar of the Quad partnership, HADR is a cornerstone of the group’s efforts to advance peace, security, prosperity, and resilience in the Indo-Pacific. Our coordinated delivery of humanitarian assistance in response to the devastating earthquake in Myanmar in March this year was a testament to the Quad’s ability to mobilize resources and rapidly deliver life-saving assistance.
