International Programme on Crisis and Mass Disaster Management

Place: Israel

Organizer: International Centre for National Security Studies (ICNSS)

 

Recent disasters, such as the 2003 SARS outbreak, the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir/Pakistan earthquake, the 2005 hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the 2007 fires in Italy and Greece, clearly identified the shortcomings of appropriate solutions for disaster rescue and recovery. Of particular note was the accompanying disaster of the lack coordination among the rescue forces.

 

The international programme will cover many of these ongoing issues faced by Israel and the international community in their effective and efficient response to an ongoing crisis or mass disaster.
