We will have a talk session with the guest lecture, Dr Fuko Nakai (Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan) on the 9th December. This session will be held as a Skype meeting at EB602.
- The community practice on how to mitigate disaster damage and risk management has been on top of the agenda for public sectors.
