their particular vulnerabilities and how they can play an important role in preparing

and supporting their communities when disaster strikes.

 

Guest speakers will be followed by a workshop where all participants will be invited to consider

research options in this area and how best to take this important and emerging work forward.

 

This workshop, with a few different presentations, is a second opportunity for
