For 23 years, WCDM has been the leader in providing a unique platform for Disaster Management professionals from around the world to present, network and learn. This year will focus on the four main pillars of Disaster Management:

What’s Wrong with Contingency Planning?

What’s wrong? Nothing - except our assumptions, our objectives, our techniques and our value as professionals. After 25 years of planning and preparing, we should feel safer; instead, we feel less resilient than ever.

Business Continuity

Feature Presentations:

Emergency Management

Crisis Communications

Resilience & Risk Management

Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning, Avoiding the Rush to Normalcy

Problem: the “recovery process” is typically not a process at all - instead this critical step toward rebuilding is rushed and lacks any semblance of community participation. Solution: Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan.

Is Your Crisis Communications Plan a Complete Waste of Time and Money?

Is your crisis communication plan a complete and utter waste of time and money? Jeff Chatterton thinks it may be. He recognizes how controversial such a statement like this may appear, but he’s prepared to back it up in an entertaining, light-hearted look at the very nature of crisis communications planning.

Organizational Resilience During a Disaster, Recovery Insurance Matters

In this case study, Colin addresses how would your business respond to extreme wet weather events impacting customers along a service corridor of a large area which provides varying levels of essential services to rural towns, cities and major metropolitan areas? More importantly, how would your business also plan to recover?
