Upcoming discussion...
This cosponsored webinar, will explore gender related dynamics related to emergency management from both a U.S. and international perspective. We will not only focus on how gender impacts communities' ability to be resilient in the face of disasters, but how women in many cases drive recovery, compose the emergency management profession, and the third-sector's role in this service provision space.
