The conference will discuss state and national trends in natural and human-made disaster response by combining different perspectives on a variety of emergency situations.                                                                                                                                                                                      
Emergency as a concept that can encompass a number of events such as natural disasters, armed conflict, or terrorist attacks. Responses to these events are governed by distinctly different, but frequently overlapping social, policy, and regulatory frameworks guiding emergency management strategies and practice. The concepts of resilience and preparedness are becoming more prominent in this field and will be a main focus of the conference.
