Organizers invite abstracts for the ICARPC IV Summit. This meeting will take place 25–28 March 2025, immediately following the ASSW 2025 business and community meetings (20–24 March 2025), in Boulder, Colorado.
Conveners of the following session invite abstracts:
SESSION 3.11: Arctic Disaster Risk Reduction
Conveners: Anne Garland and Elise D. Miller Hooks
To improve Arctic Disaster Risk Reduction (ADRR), trans disciplinary approaches are needed to facilitate greater cooperation, communication and exchange among pan Arctic researchers and practitioners to mitigate all hazards, especially with small, remote communities. Our session aims to emphasize assistance to regional and local decision-makers through the sharing and facilitation of applied research, best practices, research gaps, and greater inter-operability through improved networking, such as joint exercises, workshops, radio programs, virtual communications, and interactive websites. Importantly, we seek examples of facilitating knowledge, like an ecosystem map, for timely, friendly, and accessible information about hazard sciences in Arctic environments for operational applications. We emphasize studies about Knowledge Systems, i.e., traditional ecological and/or local, that include emerging risks from environmental changes, increased maritime traffic, and/or expanding economic development to build capacity for ADRR in small, remote communities and contributions to UNDRR, the Sendai Framework 2015, and/or for EPPR missions of the Arctic Council. The participants for this session can include researchers who apply Arctic science about DRR, Risk and Emergency Management Offices, Coast Guard, Search and Rescue, regional jurisdictions, community organizations, and/or corporations throughout the Arctic, etc. Expect updates about an Arctic Risk Management Network (ARMNet) as a trans disciplinary hub to facilitate research to practice, sponsored by the US Embassy in Ottawa, Canada, with a 2015 feasibility study, and plans for a NSF Research Coordinator Network to emphasize rapid risks and applied innovations in partnership with small, remote communities. ADRR research to practice examples and participation in ARMNet are welcomed.
