Workshop: Visions of Sharing Responsibility for Disaster Resilience

This one-day workshop will examine the idea and practice of sharing responsibility for disaster resilience. The idea of ‘shared responsibility’ is shaping emergency management thinking in Australia. It has gained significant policy traction following the Victorian 2009 Bushfires Royal Commission and the release of the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience. Similar ideas have been circulating in other sectors for some time.

“From Frontline to Headline”

Emergency Media & Public Affairs (EMPA) Conference 2012 focuses on the challenges of the crisis communications supply chain. Getting our messages to market.

Crises can take you to places that are harsh, remote and friendless. Getting messages to the audiences who need them means strategic planning, great media relationships and trained and equipped teams where you need them.

This year’s conference focuses on the challenges of the crisis communications supply chain. Getting our messages to market.

You’ve had a long drought. Suddenly the rains come and you have a harvest. Maybe you weren’t as ready as you could have been. But now you have to respond.

How do you get your products to market when infrastructure fails you, opposing forces conspire against you, the market sees your products as poor quality or not delivered on time?
