The conference provides a forum to discuss the integration of hazard information into effective risk management, including:

o  Improved response and recovery from events
o  Creating resilient communities through integrating science into practice

Our target audience is: Emergency managers, planners, risk assessors, asset and utility managers, natural hazards researchers and scientists.
