Australasia-Pacific Disaster Management, Recovery & Emergency Communications Forum will attract delegates and visitors from emergency and security services agencies, all levels of government, non-government organisations, research and educational institutions from Australia, New Zealand, the Oceania region and worldwide.

2016 marked the seventh highest year in record with the combined economic losses exceeding the $200 billion threshold for the first time since 2013. The Asia-Pacific region accounted for the bulk of deaths from natural disasters in the last century, continuing to be the world’s most disaster-prone region in 2016.

To build a resilient Asia-Pacific requires a paradigm shift from a response-recovery governance to a risk-sensitive development approach, and a stronger regional co-operation for managing trans-boundary disasters. With this in mind, we cordially invite you to the Australasia-Pacific Disaster Management, Recovery & Emergency Communications Forum on 26 – 28 June 2017 in Christchurch, New Zealand to join the discussion with our stellar speaker line-up from the governments, academic and private sectors in the region.
