Management of disasters, like most major incidents, can be divided in three phases, i.e. Before, During and After. Actions taken during each phase are, respectively, Prevention & Preparedness; Response and Recovery. The role of a senior leader in the disaster management team is essential at each of these three phases. In this respect the Plenary speaker will share his personal experience in handling major incidents with the audience.
Target audience will be professionals as well as individuals and organisations from both the public and private sectors involved in disaster preparedness, emergency response, public health emergency preparedness and response and community-based disaster preparedness.
