This year's International Joint Operations Command Conference (IJOCC) 2007 will challenge and evolve current thinking and practice on disaster and emergency command issues. Subjects covered at this international multi-agency event range from radiological emergencies and Polonium 210, strategic lessons learned from the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany, through to mass fatality events and environmental versus terrorist threats.
The conference, which is being held at the University of Warwickshire on June 25-26, will start with an impressive line-up of keynote speakers who will distil their experience and views into practical lessons for all those involved in emergency response command and strategy. Robert Whalley, former Director of Counter Terrorism and Intelligence at the British Home Office, will discuss issues arising at the level of central government decision-making during an operational crisis, while Colin Smith, Head of the EU Police Mission for the Palestinian Territories, will look at decisionmaking in conflict zones, referring to his experiences in Iraq and Palestine. Dr Patrick Lagadec (France) will put the case for a new command approach to be taken in order to confront today's inconceivable and emerging crises. For more information visit: www.ijocc.eu ;
