The Understanding Risk: Innovation in Disaster Risk Assessment conference addressed these important questions. The event explored best practices in a variety of topics ranging from open source risk modeling to community-based risk assessments. New approaches in risk assessment were showcased, focusing on technological developments and the benefits of inclusive partnerships.
“An opportunity to find new partnerships that will enable us at the community level to really tap into this great world of high technology… to help communities manage their own risk” —Daniel Kull, International Federation of Red Cross
“A rich and fecund arrangement of people … remarkable, rich content and a clearly vital motive to be here” —Rowan Douglas, Willis Research Institute
“A gathering of people of many different backgrounds and interests but with one common denominator: a love to understand risk and to try to provide answers”
