PRESENTATIONS Introduction
to hazards and risk Session 1: What is disaster risk reduction and how does it work in practice? Speculation
not extrapolation: preparing for hazards in a futures context Making
holes in the fence? Reflections on interdisciplinarity and collaboration
in disaster risk reduction research Disaster
risk reduction in Pakistan: earthquake resistant housing Understanding
community resilience ‘Taking
Stock’ - Challenges in connecting disaster risk reduction
policy and practice
Session 2: Quantifying hazardous natural processes Key
Note: Probabilistic
catastrophe models for disaster risk reduction What
can we say about the next Sumatran tsunami? Forecasting
earthquakes: the state of the art Assessing
volcano flank instability: Morne aux Diables, Dominica Tsunami
hazard mapping and risk assessment for the city of Padang / West
Sumatra Key
Note: No
risk please: we’re British Mapping
vulnerability and resilience in Eastern Nepal: an interdisciplinary
approach Community
vulnerability and capacity in post-disaster recovery: the cases
of Mano and Mikura neighbourhoods in the wake of the 1995 Kobe earthquake Key
Note: (RE)production
of disaster risk reduction? Impacts
to agriculture following the 1991 eruption of Vulcan Hudson, Patagonia:
lessons for recovery Assessing
risk in Zimbabwe: reflections on the risk assessment process
Session 4: Cultural perceptions of hazard and risk Key
Note: Cultural
perceptions of hazard and risk Traditional
land ownership patterns, vulnerabilities and resilience in Cape
Verde and Papua New Guinea: consequences for disaster mitigation
strategies Mapping
cultural vulnerability for holistic risk assessment: findings from
Mt Merapi volcano, Indonesia How
robust are science-based disaster preparedness strategies? Lessons
from Western Sumatra Participatory
three-dimensional mapping for community-based disaster risk reduction Bridging
insider and outsider perceptions: community vulnerability, resilience,
and capacity analysis through iterative stakeholder knowledge mapping Key
Note: Effective
policy, decision making and communication for natural hazards: a
New Zealand perspective Risky
beliefs in a volcanic crisis: the importance of context-specific
information Integrative
efforts for disaster risk reduction: experiences from the Workshop
for Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration in Volcanic Risk Mitigation
at Galeras Volcano, Colombia Critical
infrastructure resilience programme: improving the resilience of
critical infrastructure to natural hazards Why
‘small is beautiful’ in municipal disaster prevention Pathways
to accountability for disaster risk reduction
Session 2: Quantifying hazardous natural processes Where
the walls come tumbling down: predicting earthquake hazard in Vanuatu Translating
science: risk, uncertainty and policy advice Remote
sensing for disaster risk reduction in semi-arid regions Advances
in physical modelling of nearshore tsunami waves and their impact
using a unique tsunami generator Multi-hazard
assessments for building sustainable and resilient communities in
the Philippines
Analysing
the spatial distribution of vulnerability to floods in the Salzach
catchment, Austria Spatial
vulnerability indicators applied to recovery and risk reduction
after earthquakes: the case of L’Aquila - Italy Resilience
under the magnifying glass Use
of free satellite imagery for disaster risk reduction Mainstreaming
local perceptions of hurricane risk into policymaking: a case study
of community-based vulnerability mapping in Mexico Effects
of climate change on coastal management, businesses and communities
in the Solent Community
based natural hazard mitigation in Kyrgyzstan Practicalities
of vulnerability analysis: lessons from St. Vincent, Caribbean
Article
25: built solutions to social problems Exploring
the use and value of visuals used in the southern California shakeout
2008 public earthquake preparedness campaign Can
a sustainable livelihoods approach be used to assess the effectiveness
of a community-based early warning system? Terra
viva - a network of seismometers in schools of Fogo Island, Cape
Verde The
