Rebuilding Sustainable Communities
with the Elderly and Disabled People after Disasters |
| Date: | 07-12-2010

| Location: | Center for Rebuilding Sustainable Communities after Disasters (CRSCAD)
McCormack Hall, 3rd floor, Room 612
University of Massachusetts Boston
100 Morrissey Boulevard
Boston, MA 02125-3393
|
| Conference objectives
There is currently an abundance of documents, plans and policies addressing the needs of the elderly and people with disabilities in the preparedness phase of disaster. Moreover, there have been countless conferences which have examined the challenges that the elderly and people with disabilities face in emergency planning and response.
However, no significant systematic post-disasters’ study has been undertaken with a focus on the long-term, sustainable community recovery and rebuilding needs of this population.
The conference will, therefore, address the following main issues:
- he status of the elderly and disabled people in various communities after disasters and the continuing need for superior research and appropriate data
- The place of the elderly and disabled people in local, regional and national post-disaster reconstruction policies, plans and programs
- The role and input of the elderly and disabled people in post-disaster reconstruction planning and implementation processes
- The roles of governments, institutions of higher education, the private sector, non-governmental and community-based organizations in post-disaster reconstruction
- The promotion of human dignity in the creation of sustainable environments that empower the elderly and disabled people in the aftermath of disasters
- Integration of the elderly and disabled people into the larger community after disasters
- The promotion of the human rights of disabled people through full participation, equalization of opportunity and development
- The role of women with disabilities in the formulation and implementation of reconstruction policies after disaster
- The participation of children with disabilities in the development and execution of post-disaster plans and programs
The conference will seek to contribute to, and recommend, future policy formulation and implementation processes by local, regional and national governments as well as multilateral agencies and grass-roots organizations.
Registration Information
The registration fee is USD $300.00 and covers only the conference proceedings, lunch on each conference day, and coffee. Scholarships may be available to University of Massachusetts Boston students. Click here to fill out registration form.
Conference format:
Plenary sessions
Keynote speakers
Presentations (Paper, PowerPoint, etc.)
Panel sessions
Country and international case studies
Conference location
Rebuilding Sustainable Communities for the elderly and people with disabilities after Disasters will be held at the University of Massachusetts Boston Campus Center.
