Dear colleagues,
We would like to inform you that the Seventh IIASA-DPRI Forum on Integrated
Disaster Risk Management will be held in Stresa on the Lake Maggiore in
Italy on 19-21 September, 2007. The conference will be preceded by two
optional workshops (limited participation) on "Implementation science,
CASIFICA and DRH" and "NATECH risk assessment and management", and the
