CODATA International Workshop on RISK Management, Berlin Sept. 10/11, 2009

[Horst Kremers]

The UN ISDR Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction (Geneva, June 16-19)

clearly showed the urgency of supporting decision-making and action for

Risk Management in all phases of the disaster cycle.

 

This Berlin workshop inside the framework  of the EnviroInfo 2009 Conference

(23rd International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection)

gives a unique opportunity to share experience, meet experts, discuss

projects and new digital methodologies, and indicate on current new trends

on decision making, and will also focus on deficits in this important

field of information science applied in situations of environmental

and basic humanitarian needs.

 

The panel discussion in the end of the first day of this workshop

will directly contribute to CODATA strategic recommendations to the

International Council for Science (ICSU).

There is growing concern on local, regional, national and international

level to increase preparedness and substantially support decision making

at various levels of actions to be taken in environmental risk situations.

These fields are both related to the follow-up of legislation and

management for authorities on all spatial levels as well as for factories

owners of SME's and of transnational companies.

decision makers, users, civil servants, project chairs, technicians and

researchers

from the private and public sector in EU and other regions are invited

to communicate experiences and discuss the necessary strategies for

methodological, technical and managerial improvements.

modeling

and find recommendations for adequate information system components.
