Disaster Recovery: PUTTING RECOVERY FIRST Free Webinar
Event description
With all the best of intentions, with all the current planning, for all the policy work, for all the research that’s been done; RECOVERY after every major event is playing CATCH UP to the expectations, perceptions, and rights of the community… WHY?
Why, with all our experience in dealing with the impacts of natural hazards on people and communities, are we still arguing and debating the allocation of recovery funding, the worth to the community, or the eligibility of an impact months and years after an event?
Why is the media cycle so predictable?
Why are the lawyers some of the first in the community?
Why are emotions always strained?
WHY?
Because our approach, our recovery playbook, hasn’t changed and kept pace with changing politics, policies, technology, or social expectations.
It’s time to challenge the myths of recovery and rewrite the recovery playbook.
Join Iain MacKenzie for a free webinar to understand the importance of ‘putting recovery first’ and why it should be done, ‘under blue skies’.
Iain’s vast experience provides a unique perspective, as Iain believes that meaningful change is only possible when people are at the centre of thinking, planning and the execution.
Hosted by author, speaker, risk strategist and founder of Unearth, Lisa Sisson, this webinar will open your eyes to why a new perspective on managing risk is absolutely vital when it comes to disaster recovery. Don't miss it.
