Disaster management and crisis response Middle East

Discover the core strategies for implementing a unified and coherent disaster management plan. Without a comprehensive disaster management and crisis response plan, the number of fatalities, collateral damage, and the economic impact will all be significantly increased.

Taking this into account, a unified and coherent national disaster management plan is crucial for dealing with a variety of crisis scenarios from oil spills to an outbreak of infectious diseases or a global pandemic, from floods, earthquakes to more day-to-day incidents like traffic accidents.

At the disaster management and crisis response 2010 conference, all stakeholders will gather and address international and regional issues. This conference will offer a unique experience by bringing together a team of experienced experts, practitioners, certifying bodies, service and product suppliers from emergency management, business continuity and other disaster management disciplines.

Key issues to be discussed include

- Unified emergency plans to combat large-scale disasters or crisis’ i.e., pandemic, fires, flooding, etc
- Reducing the number of wide-scale disasters (i.e., fires) caused by negligence at work
- Successfully handling common disaster situations in the region, such as fire, collapsed building/construction works and even flooding in the Northern Emirates
- Equipping, training and preparing for international humanitarian missions, including earthquakes in Pakistan, flooding in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and peacekeeping duties in Afghanistan
