Launch of the IRDR
19 July 2010
The Institute
launch event was well attended, and bought together a wide range
of
internal and external people with an active interest in the field
of
risk and disaster reduction. The panel session raised a number of
points
for further discussion and development, and saw the announcement
of
funding opportunities, partnerships, and the report on the recent
volcanic activity in Iceland.
If you were unable to
attend the event, a recording of the event can be found embedded below:
The event also saw the launch of a rapid report on the recent Icelandic eruption. For
further information on the Icelandic report
