**[Reason for Attending Annual HEP Conference]{.underline}** : Currently
I am in the process of establishing a " Graduate School of Disaster
Management" (GSDM) at Geneva - a division of TWDC offering (a)
Comprehensive Graduate / Post Graduate Course (b) Executive Development
Programs for officials and (c) Conferences on the various subjects of
disasters / emergency management. The courses will be offered from
September / October 2007 .The cardinal focus will be (a) seeking of a
transformation from programmed to non-programmed decision response under
disaster / emergency conditions from Government & other officials being
within routine administrative organization (b) to raise up Disaster
Management as a discipline in the academic world. In building GSDM at
Geneva , I need a valuable input from a galaxy of academics &
practitioners participating at the Conference.
