THE MANAGEMENT OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Organised by the National Preservation Office in conjunction with the
M25 Consortium of Higher Education Libaries
23rd May 2000
Conference Centre, British Library
96 Euston Road
London NW1 2DB
The aim of this seminar is to look at different ways of approaching
disaster management, focusing on cooperative and cross-sectoral
management of resources. Increasingly, institutions are planning in
collaboration, whether regionally, nationally or internationally. These
programmes are supported by a wealth of shared information which is
frequently web based. This approach will be highlighted at this seminar
through the M25 consortium.
