ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

For the past decade, after the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda (aka Haiyan), the Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) has organized the International Conference on Integrative Disaster Risk Reduction Management (ICIDRRM) to discuss and address disaster management topics. This conference serves as a platform for researchers, government officials, and non-governmental specialists to converge and deliberate on the evolving challenges posed by disasters, pandemics like COVID-19, and broader issues, e.g., global oil crises and food insecurity.

This year, ESSU, in partnership with the Office of the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovations, and Futures Thinking (SDGIFT) and the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Office - Eastern Samar, is embarking on the 11th ICIDRRM with the theme “Integrating Futures Thinking Strategies and SDGs in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM),” to be held on November 27-29, 2024. By integrating sustainable development goals and futures thinking into disaster resilience initiatives, the ICIDRRM envisions a future where communities, regardless of socio-economic status, stand resilient against adversities, embodying a safer and more secure tomorrow for all.

The conference will have a hybrid format, with online participation through the Zoom event platform and an offline event at Teatro Ibabawnon, Eastern Samar State University-Borongan City, Eastern Samar, Philippines.


CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

This international conference aims to achieve the following objectives:


  1. To facilitate strategic partnerships among government entities, private sector organizations, NGOs, academia, and local communities for effective disaster risk reduction and management;
  2. To showcase research, successful case studies, and cutting-edge technologies that enhance disaster resilience that can be replicated in various contexts;
  3. To create a collaborative platform for drafting comprehensive policies incorporating diverse stakeholder perspectives and promoting coordinated disaster management efforts; and
  4. To empower local communities through education and participatory planning sessions that ensure inclusive, culturally and gender-sensitive DRRM strategies; and
