Disaster and Development

Mon. 4:00-5:30 p.m., Interlocken C

This panel will address disaster and development concepts, issues, theoretical perspectives, and practical concerns using examples from major disaster-prone regions. Panelists will integrate topics of hazards, governance, administrative capacity, and policy making. Among the topics to be addressed will be ways disasters and development concepts can be useful as a framework to investigate conditions that lead to stronger, safer, and more sustainable communities and what factors account for the variation in the ability to recover from a disaster.
