On Thursday, ICHARM's PhD student Md. Nasif Ahsan presented a poster at the UNISDR Science and Technology Conference on the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The poster was titled "The challenges and opportunities of early warning messages aimed at evacuation compliance: A case report following Cyclone Aila in Bangladesh" and was presented in work stream 2, Understanding disaster risk, risk assessment and early warning. The results are partially based on our previously published paper, 'Factors affecting the evacuation decisions of coastal households during Cyclone Aila in Bangladesh'. I am proud to have collaborated on this poster and very happy about all the constructive discussions that followed Nasif's presentation.
The UNISDR presented two important documents at this conference, namely the Science and Technology Roadmap and Partnership.
