The ISSMGE "Geo-engineers Without Borders" Committee (GeoWB) is a concept introduced by President Marc Ballouz. Pierre Delage has been invited to oversee this Committee, with Daniela Pollak, Board member, actively participating.
This Committee proposes to send volunteer Geo-engineers from the ISSMGE network (around 90 countries and 37 Technical Committees) over the world to areas which have been affected by a Geo-disaster such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, failure of dykes, dam and tailing dams, collapse of geotechnical structures to mention a few.

All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
