The 12th Australasian Natural Hazards Management Conference will explore the current state of knowledge in natural hazards to see if it has adequately prepared us for extreme weather impacts that are beyond our current experience.

Delegates will help develop a strategic view on whether research and formal reviews of natural hazards from around Australia, New Zealand, and across the globe, are providing us with the best knowledge to deal with the extreme hazards of our future. The program will be staged around an exploration of the many and varied impacts from major natural hazards.

As demographics change, new technologies emerge, and climate becomes extreme, what should be done now to minimise the impact of major events upon our infrastructure, our economy, our way of life and on the people of Australia and New Zealand?

The conference will stretch your thinking on what is possible, and what needs to be done.

The 12th Australasian Natural Hazards Management Conference – Canberra, 17-19 June 2019, Australian Institute of Sport. Hosted by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC.

The conference program of keynote speakers, topic experts and community representatives, is now being developed.

This year, the conference will be invigorated with a new concept that will give attendees insights into research and policy developments over coming years.

This annual international conference was last hosted in partnership with the NZ National Emergency Management Conference in Wellington in 2018. A pre-conference workshop, ran by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC in collaboration with QuakeCoRE New Zealand and Fire and Emergency New Zealand, explored the synergy and separation between the two countries in the space of both research and utilisation around emergencies, disasters and resilience. This workshop will run again prior to the main conference. Find out more on the 2018 workshop here.
