The Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference will provide a forum to examine the issues surrounding natural and man-made hazards.

The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) released a National Strategy for Disaster Resilience in February 2011. It agreed to adopt "a whole-of-nation resilience-based approach to disaster management, which recognises that a national, coordinated and cooperative effort is needed to enhance Australia’s capacity to withstand and recover from emergencies and disasters."

The 2012 conference will be held in Brisbane from 16 - 18 April at the Brisbane Convention Centre. The program format will consist of keynote addresses, concurrent sessions and workshops. There will be more than 50 presentations.

The conference streams will include:

• Research
• People Management
• Mitigation
• Climate Change
• Relief & Recovery – Health, Local Business, Infrastructure
• Volunteers
• Response
• Business Continuity
• Crisis Management
• Media
• Risk Assessment
• Policy and Governance

In the past few years we have seen fires in Victoria, earthquakes in New Zealand, floods in Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and Vietnam, a tsunami in Indonesia, a tropical cyclone in North Queensland, volcanic eruptions in Indonesia and The Philippines and hurricanes and severe flooding in the USA.
