In the digital age, disaster response has never been as swift or sophisticated. While technology and 'innovation' has created new and interesting opportunities with respect to disaster preparedness and response, such as the introduction of 'digital humanitarians', it has also created new and complex challenges around information security and reliability.

Join Christopher Libby (BC Red Cross Society), Roxanne Moore (Digital Humanitarians Network), and Chad Pacholik (Government of BC) at the HiVE Vancouver on Wednesday October 7th to learn more about disaster response, management, and preparedness. The event will be moderated by Sebastian Merz and hosted by PeaceGeeks and Amnesty International.
