Rehabilitation, and Preparedness, involving Industry, Government,
Organizations working on Rescue and Relief and stakeholders for supply chain
optimisation.

innovations in Disaster management.
Coordination by networking knowledge and shared resources for effective
approach, methods and tools for disaster risk management and mitigation.
