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.
