The Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference will provide a forum to examine the issues surrounding natural and man-made hazards.
Following the success of the inaugral 2012 conference, the committee will keep the event in Brisbane in 2013. The program committee has been expanded to include representatives from most Australian States and New Zealand. A shortlist of invited keynote presenters will be available on this website by 1st June 2012, following consultation with delegates and the hosting organisations.
A joint initiative of three 'not-for-profit' organisations - the Australian Institute of Emergency Services, the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Organisation Inc, and the Association for Sustainability in Business Inc, the conference program will focus on 'PPRR'. Prevention, Preparedness, Response & Recovery and incorporate keynote addresses, concurrent sessions and workshops covering human and social issues, economic and environmental challenges, infrastructure, community and communication topics.
The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) released a National Strategy for Disaster Resilience in February 2011. It agreed to adopt "a whole-of-nation resilience-based approach to disaster management, which recognises that a national, coordinated and cooperative effort is needed to enhance Australia’s capacity to withstand and recover from emergencies and disasters."
The 2013 conference will be held in Brisbane and will include a Special Interest Group meeting that will bring together representatives from volunteer groups to explore the ongoing challenges of their shared responsibilities including community engagement, corporate involvement and sustainable support.
