Agenda:
Losses of human lives and economic losses from natural disasters have 
increased dramatically in the last decades. Especially developing regions 
are highly vulnerable to natural disasters. The objective of this 
conference, similar to the previous events, is to contribute to the 
development and to the implementation of an integrated disaster risk 
management approach with the emphasis on sharing the experiences obtained 
under different cultural and socio-economic settings. The addressed audience 
should include scientists from different disaster related disciplines as 
well as practitioners, representatives of NGOs and policy makers from 
different regions.

The reduction of escalating losses from natural disasters is essential for 
sustainable development. Considering that the poorest groups of the society 
suffer disproportionally from natural hazards IDRiM strategies have to be 
promoted which contribute to a socially balanced development.
