2016 Theme:
Looking at disasters through the other end of the telescope by initially focusing on the broad picture of disaster anticipation, coping and recovery, rather than zoom in straight away on existing key disciplines.
This encourages more creative thinking to match the needs of each phase in a world that is becoming turbulent faster than organizations are becoming resilient.
