It is our pleasure to invite you to attend a workshop to train those involved in all aspects of Disaster Management The workshop aims to build up each participant’s overall understanding of this important area of service to people exposed to risks or recovery from disaster impact.
The workshop will be based on the documents published by the Disaster Management Training Programme. (Send An Overview of Disaster Management module with the invitation.) It is the aim of the organisers that each participant will be able to receive a copy of An Overview of Disaster Management to assist with their preparation for, participation in and follow-up after the workshop. Additional manuals will be distributed during the workshop.
The workshop will use interactive teaching techniques and each participant will be encouraged to participate from the basis of his or her own field experience and insights. We hope that each participant will bring with them a case study on fieldwork they have been involved in related to disasters supported by any materials available such as maps and photographs (or slides). In addition to learning and skills development the workshop will provide a valuable opportunity for those involved in this to meet together and encourage each other. It will be a time to think and work on projects, in time set aside from the ordinary demands of life. It is hoped that it will also be a time for participants to recuperate so as to be able to return to their work with new energy.
Please bring with you:
any problem that you hope the other participants may be able to help you with
an open mind!
(Add any reference to financial arrangements.)
We would appreciate it if you would notify us as soon as possible as to whether you will be able to attend this workshop.
We shall be contacting you again regarding the workshop arrangements.
Yours sincerely,
Thanks and With Warmest Regards,
