AFAC CONFERENCE – AFTER DISASTER STRIKES, LEARNING FROM

Natural and man-made disasters strike all countries and examining how emergency management services, land managers and communities prepared, responded to and assisted with recovery is vital to developing evidence-based policy and practice for the future.

Hence, the AFAC 2014 conference was designed to bring together and share the combined wisdom of experience, research and analysis from across the sector to enable a deeper understanding of the approaches needed to secure the region’s future and prosperity.
