Darryl Culley
Emergency Management GroupDisaster Exercise - The Most Effective Training
Darryl will walk through the benefits of and steps to ensure effective disaster exercises
11.45 - 12.15
Rei Gene Villarosa and Rizah Mae Picarana
RISE Structural Design, Inc.Disaster-proofed: Designing One Step Ahead
This seminar explores different structures that is part of a Japanese structural designers life. We will focus not on the architectural, residential/commercial buildings, but on unmanned structures that ensure the safety of living and non-living things alike from natural disasters (e.g. Tsunami, Earthquake, Tornado etc.). Come and experience various structural innovations that mitigate massive effects of earthquake from the Land of the Rising Sun!
12.30 - 13.00
Alessandro Pettinari
IDS GeoRadar s.r.l.Radar Interferometry for real-time monitoring of critical infrastructures
Natural disasters usually cause a long backlash of risk factors, mainly linked to terrain or structure instability, generating the need to have a 24/7 monitoring of critical infrastructures during both rescue activities and subsequent securing/reconstruction phase. This seminar provides an overview of case studies in which radar interferometry was deployed to provide accurate, early-warning remote sensing capabilities during natural hazards-related emergency situations.
13.15 - 13.45
Bevan Jones
Outlander SolutionsLessons from Australia''s fires and national catastrophes
The 2019–20 bushfire season was the worst New South Wales (NSW) has recorded. Higher than average temperatures and low moisture levels in bushfire fuels following several years of drought enabled devastating fires to burn across much of the state, with intense bushfire weather conditions continuing through most of the fire season. Over the course of a few months, 26 lives were lost, 2,448 homes were destroyed and 5.5 million hectares (ha) of land was burnt.Comms and Situational Awarness are the key.
14.00 - 14.30
Wilfried ten Brinke
Centre for Climate AdaptationEurope in a changing climate: vulnerabilities and ways to adapt
In Europe, the risk of natural disasters is rising sharply from north to south. Southern European countries are much more vulnerable to sea level rise and already suffer from regular flash flooding. Wildfire risk increases sharply from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean by a factor 10. I will take you on a journey through Europe in a changing climate and show you its vulnerabilities and strategies to adapt.
14.45 - 15.15
M. Ibnur Rashad
GUILD Asia & Floating Gardens InitiativeReinventing Food Aid: The Floating Chinampas Story
Flooding makes up 40% of all natural disasters. Floods are also the second greatest culprit for agricultural production loss, responsible for a total of $21 billion of crop and livestock production loss accrued between 2008 - 2018. How might we then ensure food security in flooded areas? Through Design Thinking, Circularity & Biomimicry, GUILD combines ancient techniques & modern tech to invent their Floating Chinampas.

Matt Keogh
Leader S.A.SRescuer Safety: Innovation through Experience
The presentation will be based around Matt's experience over many years attending incidents and the loss of fellow rescuers in tragic circumstances. This led him to develop a piece of structural stability monitoring equipment to improve the safety of the rescuers. His innovation is now used operationally in over 30 countries.
11.45 - 12.15
Brian A.Dale
Priority Dispatch CorporationManaging The Storm
If COVID-19 taught us nothing, we know that many calls to Emergency Service are non-emergent and involve citizens being scared and looking for information or assistance, especially during severe surges in calls for service. Priority Dispatch and the IAED are now offering a new Severe Weather Crisis Tool for citizens to report concerns and reduce incoming non-emergent calls for service.
12.30 - 13.00
Powon Tony Lee
SI Analytics Co., Ltd.Natural Disaster Damage Analysis Through Satellite Imagery
When a disaster occurs, the most important thing is to quickly identify the damage site and measure the extent of the damage. Satellites are a great way to photograph hard-to-reach areas and huge areas. SI Analytics helps people make decisions by analyzing satellite images using AI tools.
13.15 - 13.45
Jon Andri Jörg
Anavia AGHow Unmanned Copter Solutions Help In Preventative And Active Disaster Management Operations
Disaster Management operations needs fast rapid reaction and imediate deployment of rescue assets. By using an unmanned copter platform with multi-payload capabilities time critical data can be supplied to first responders in real time. Life-saving equipment and supplies can be provided in the first hours of a disaster in regions which heavily damaged infrastructure.
