'Risk, Technology and Disaster Management'
Public Debate
Date: 16 March 2010
Time: 6:30pm - 8:00pm
Venue: G108
On 16th March 2010 CARR will be marking ESRC Social Science Week by
hosting a seminar entitled 'Risk, Technology and Disaster Management',
which will focus on the ways in which advances in science and technology
are being used in disaster response, and the technical and social risks
associated with the use of such technologies.
The event will provide a forum for practitioners, policymakers and
publics to debate the technical, social and ethical aspects of disaster
management and relief, and about the risks associated with these
undertakings.
Confirmed speakers:
Professor Sue Black OBE, from the Centre for Anatomy and Human
Identification at Dundee University. Professor Black has extensive
experience of applying forensic anthropology to disaster victim
identification, and in such places as Thailand, Kosovo and Iraq.
Commander Nicholas Bracken OBE, has over 30 years policing experience
including leading numerous high profile investigations. These include
the Ladbroke Grove and Selby train crashes; the Yarls Wood immigration
centre fire; the successful re-investigation into the previously
unidentified victims of the 1987 Kings Cross underground fire; and
Senior Identification Manager for the UK's response to the 2004 Tsunami.
He is currently Area Commander of East London.
Roger Baldwin, a member of the senior management team of the MPS
(Metropolitan Police Service) Directorate of Forensic Services at New
Scotland Yard. He has the strategic lead for Disaster Victim
Identification and mass fatality forensic systems.
This event is open to everyone. Please pass on this invite to others who
