Based on a recommendation of the Working Group on Hydrology, the TC at its 38th Annual Session, which was held in Hanoi, Viet Nam, in November 2005, recommended conducting a workshop in 2006, involving the three components. As consequence of this recommendation, the Typhoon Committee conducted a workshop in Macao, China, in 2006,joining for the first time the representatives of the three components of TC (Meteorology, Hydrology and Disaster Risk Reduction – DRR) with the main goal ofupgrading the regional cooperation through the planning and implementation of cross-cutting activities.
Following the success of the first joint workshop, the Committee adopted the practice of organizing technical meetings annually, which came to be known as Integrated Workshops, which were assigned on the basis of the main issues to be addressed and had the below titles since 2006 (up to 2012).
The scope of the IWS was expanded and today constitute an event of great importance, since the participants of three working groups (WGM, WGH and WGDRR), together with the Advisory Working Group, discuss the progress of their Annual Operating Plan (AOP), cross-cutting issues, as well as the strategic plan, budget allocation and governance of the Committee.
Currently it is the unanimous opinion of the Members of the TC that the realization of IWSs has demonstrably not only contributed to the consolidation of cooperation amongMembers, but also have facilitated the work in the subsequent annual sessions of the TC.
