There were over 300 attendees at the Conference which provided a forum to examine the issues surrounding natural and man-made hazards. The dynamic and topical program had 5 streams over 2 days with over 80 presenters.

Podcasts, Proceedings and Photographs will be available this month.

Following the success of the 2013 conference, the event will be returning to Brisbane in May 2014. 

On behalf of the Conference Committee we would like to thank the conference attendees, presenters and sponsors for their participation at this years’ event.

More information coming soon!

Congratulations to Marianne Jago-Bassingthwaighte from the Centre for Disaster Studies who presented the topic "Humanitarian Aid: does rapid response undermine community resilience?", for being nominated by the attendees as the presentation that made the most valuable contribution to the education program.
