When a natural or man made disaster occurs, what will people do? Will they stay or leave? If they leave, where will they go? If they stay what will they do? Do these answers depend on the nature of the disaster? Are the destinations incident dependent? Do the destination communities have the capacity to care for the arriving population? Are there ways to be better prepared from both a governmental and personal perspective? For a candid and interactive discussion of the issues, plan to attend.
