Using Project Management in Disaster Management

Project Management is a skill set that is used in many situations, even when we don't think it's needed. Dr. Desiree Beekharry talk to us about how Project Management is used during times of Natural Disasters and how it's various aspects are used to help with Disaster Management practices overall. We'll discuss the similarities and differences between traditional Project Management approaches and Natural Disaster Management concepts, while identifying the challenges and complexities with both. Dr. Beekharry will also provide insight on how Disaster Management and Project Management professionals need to be Agile in their approach to responding to disasters and outlines some of the challenges that can be encountered. Having promoted the benefits of Project Management skills for years in our Disaster/Business Continuity industry, I found Dr. Beekharry's talk to be very educational. Don't miss it!
