Disaster and emergency conference - call for papers

The 2014 Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management conference will be held on the Gold Coast in May.

Organisers are inviting potential attendees to consider presenting at the conference. Opportunities are available to present in concurrent sessions, share case studies, run workshops or present a poster. Presenters and participants are invited to engage in discussions, to enable new connections and sharing with like-minded, passionate, enquiring minds, as we deeply explore the issues surrounding natural and man-made hazards.

Submission of abstracts close on Monday 3 February 2014.

The conference will examine what has been learned in the past few years and provide a comprehensive forum that shines a light on resilience, and offers professionals an opportunity to examine the expertise, competencies and systems relating to the preparedness for future disasters, emergencies and hazards and the ability to recover from them quickly and efficiently.

There will be multiple streams and informative workshops as well as an all-encompassing exhibition showcasing equipment, products, services and solutions.

Full details are available on the conference website.
