Their study mainly by biologists and medical doctors has resulted in the progressive accumulati on of a large amount of scientific knowledge and right therapeutic practic es. Nonetheless\, we have not \nbeen able to avoid the enormous loss of li ves and economic disruption that qualify the ongoing Covid-19 pandemics as a global disaster.\nDealing with other natural phenomena\, as earthquakes \, volcanic eruptions\, hurricanes or floods\, we have learnt that disaste rs can be avoided through defined processes that include the risk reductio n and a strong preparedness that ensure an effective response when the eve nt occurs. The same processes can be applied to manage the risk of future pandemics. Science and technology provide adequate knowledge and diverse t ools to contribute to the task.\nThe WFEO Committee on Disaster Risk Manag ement organizes this webinar to present and discuss on:\n\nOverview of the global organization of early warning for pandemics\, \nThe near-real time (big) data management and information as support to decision-making\, and \nEmergency health centers quick building systems.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wfeo.org/wp-content/uploads/FLYER_CD RM_Webinar_2020-12-18.jpg CATEGORIES:WFEO event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Paris X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Paris BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201025T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:CET END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
