DESCRIPTION:An intuitive definition of disasters involves mass casualties.
  The scale of the hazard event is one determinant of loss of life\, but ma
 ny other factors also play a role. This session will explore the value pla
 ced on human life in disaster preparedness and response\, and how such los
 ses can be reduced by both preparation and post-disaster response.   \nQue
 stions addressed will include:\n* What is the role of understanding likely
  casualties in mitigating or preventing disasters?\n* How can we educate a
 t risk populations to minimise the casualties and psychological damage of 
 disasters?\n* What measures can be taken in response to a disaster to redu
 ce casualties? \n* How should disaster risk reduction efforts balance loss
  of life with other impacts?  \n\n*To receive the link to the zoom meeting
