Dealing with Disasters 2009 International Conference

This conference is a must for senior policy makers, disaster management specialists, the university sector and a wide range of practitioners. It follows on from the highly successful Dealing with Disasters events held in Teesside in 2006, Northumbria in 2007 and Cardiff in 2008.

Previous feedback on these events includes the following:
“The programme was full and varied, enough to satisfy all aspects of emergency planning. Excellent selection of speakers.” “I thoroughly enjoyed the blend of developed and developing world topics, which echoed the conference’s international theme. Also, the opportunity to discuss ideas and make contact with both practitioners and the academic community.” “The best part of this event is that it mixes a wide range of subjects and links to disaster risk reduction.”
