Next week the Diva will be attending the annual Natural Hazards Conference. During that time she welcomes comments from readers on this new idea:
Under consideration is a mentoring, tutoring, and advisory service, to be led by the Diva and experienced colleagues. Please write in and share your views on the need and value of such a service to you.
The proposed services would:
- provide information and resources about disasters and emergency management
- offer assistance with research and professional writing (e.g., thesis and journal articles)
- provide guidance on professional development
Let us know if you would be interested in obtaining such assistance, which would be provided on a hourly fee-for service basis.
I took a look. Not really relevant. Informative on does and don’t during hot summer days but not on the knowledge of disaster responders? Thanks anyways, any information is good to know.
I will look at if for sure. There are many pioneers in the field but few NGOs who implement things ‘environmentally’!
I would love to know more. I’m currently beginning my graduate research with this question in mind: “how knowledgeable are disaster responders in environmental vulnerability during disaster response?”.
Well, the heat wave we are experiencing in a large part of the U.S. ought to provide some information on that topic.
