Canadian risk and hazards network symposium
Goal
The consistent goal of the CRHNet symposiums is to contribute to the creation of a disaster resilient society through inter-disciplinary and inter-jurisdictional dialogue and collaboration among practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and academics.
The theme of this year's symposium, Building Resiliency reflects the need to better understand the multi-dimensionality and complexity of resilience. Of particular interest is resilience as it pertains to populated urban areas and First Nations communities.
