Innovation, technology and collaboration

This year’s conference will be taking place on Wednesday 7 September, at the Hilton Deansgate, in Manchester. The conference will be a joint event between ResilienceDirect and the Natural Hazards Partnership.

We as the Resilience Community have been facing many extremely challenging events and have responded to major incidents, such as the Winter Flooding of 2015–16. Once again, it has highlighted that you are there to keep the UK safe.

This also focuses on the need for us to be truly innovative in the way we come together to plan, respond and recover from major incidents and emergencies.

Agenda items include:

Manchester, a Resilient City: Nick Chrissos Head of Innovation Technology, UK and Ireland
Cisco International
Government Resilience
Speaker 1, Luana Avagliano, Civil Contingency Secretariat
Speaker 2, Ian Lisk Chair of Natural Hazards Partnership
Speaker 3, Paul Febvre, Satellite Applications Catapult
“Living without” : Professor Roger Kemp MBE, Lancaster University

Emergency responders need to be ready to deal with crises and disruptive events – ranging from natural disasters to deliberate attacks.

Now the emergency response community in the UK have access to a new, fully accredited and secure information-sharing platform called ResilienceDirect™, underpinned by OS location data provided under the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA).

The Natural Hazards Partnership is already gaining international recognition as world leading. Initial findings from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction facilitated peer review of the UK's approach to resilience, highlighted the NHP as a model "other nations may wish to adopt". Furthermore, influential organisations, such as the EC's Joint Research Centre, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Health Organization and World Meteorological Organization are acknowledging the role of the NHP and the importance of its work.
