General Conclusions of the 1999 Programme Forum
SUMMARYEdited Version of October13, 1999 Transcript "World Disaster Reduction Day-- Amy Sebring We used the occasion of World Disaster Reduction day to try out a new session format. Ten discussion questions were posted in advance (see below) with additional background and transitional material provided by the moderator. Participation by the audience was excellent, and in feedback after the session, participants were favorable about using this format again for other issues. Most participants agreed that some type of continuing effort to focus attention on disaster mitigation is needed, and that a well-coordinated campaign would be useful, however it must reach and support activities at the local community level. The U.N. is generally perceived as the institution with sufficient global scope for a world-wide campaign. |
