The 2009 International Disaster Management Conference has been designed to meet the educational needs of all persons and agencies involved with emergency preparedness, response, and disaster recovery. This year’s Planning Committee acknowledges the unique role that the myriad of first responders, response agencies and communities play in planning for, responding to, and mitigating disasters.
The conference theme "Prepare Freedom's Lifelines..." is evident throughout all of this year’s educational programs and tracks. This past year has presented the emergency management community with several challenging events. These events, although devastating, have produced an opportunity to learn from adversity and serve as the basis for many of our educational sessions.
