Dr. Walter Hays In Switzerland
The session focuses on mega-catastrophes and large-scale natural hazards, such as: the Indian Ocean Tsunami; Hurricane Katrina; the Wenchuan, China, Port au Prince, Haiti, and Chile earthquakes; the Iceland volcano eruption; and the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. These occurrences have revealed gaps in disaster preparedness, disaster response, and disaster recovery that have led to catastrophes for the communities at risk. The panel will elaborate on best practices in science, engineering, and education to build capacity and foster implementation of policies for global risk reduction.
Dr. Hays regularly uses his expertise and incorporates these current events into the science curriculum through classroom exercises, project and assemblies.
