Subject: RE: [emergency] FW: UNISDR Science and Technology Conference on the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Well, it doesn’t look like I will have the time to develop the abstract, after all.

I might be able to attend if we can find travel funding. I actually met Virginia Murray in Sendai, Japan at the WCDRR.

I would love to submit an abstract on the HL7/TEP transform, but I won’t be able to get internal funding for the travel. Patti Patti Iles Aymond, PhD 8710 Jefferson Highway From:

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As the Chair of the
Organising
Committee for the UNISDR
Science and Technology Conference on the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk
Reduction 2015-2030
to be held in Geneva on 27-29 January 2016 I am sending you this e-mail to ask you to save the date and participate in this important conference. This conference aims to bring together the full diversity of the science and technology community, policy makers, practitioners and researchers from all geographical regions, at local, national, regional
and international levels to identify what and how science and technology can contribute to the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 to reduce disaster losses in lives, livelihoods and health. The Conference is open to
all participants and that there is no conference fee so as to encourage attendance.
The main conference outcomes are to launch the UNISDR Science and Technology Partnership for the implementation of the Sendai Framework; and adopt the UNISDR Science and Technology 15
year road map (the draft road map will be available for input on the conference website in October). Interactive sessions will be
organised around four themes:
1)
Scientific and technical partnership to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework:
2) Understanding disaster risk, risk assessment and early warning;
3) Use of science, technology and innovation tools, methods and standards to support the implementation and reporting of Sendai Framework and 4) Leveraging science through capacity development and research. For registration and
further information including papers, please, visit the conference website, which is updated regularly:
