2nd annual national roundtable on disaster risk reduction

The second Annual National Roundtable for Disaster Risk Reduction will be taking place on October 18, 2011, in Ottawa, Ontario, co-located with the 8th Canadian Risks and Hazards Network Symposium. The Roundtable serves as a multi-sectoral consultative mechanism for all sectors to advance areas of common concern related to disaster risk reduction.

The purpose of the Annual National Roundtable on Disaster Risk Reduction (the Roundtable) is to bring together the general membership of Canada's Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction in an open, inclusive, equitable forum. The Roundtable serves as a venue for Canada's ongoing national dialogue on DRR, the administrative annual general meeting for the Platform, and an opportunity for deliberative dialogue among DRR stakeholders.
