Overview
The 26th Annual International Disaster Management Conference 2005 has been designed to meet the educational needs of all persons and agencies involved with emergency preparedness, response, and disaster recovery. This year’s Planning Committee acknowledges the unique role that the myriad of first responders, response agencies and communities play in planning for, responding to, and mitigating disasters.

The conference theme "Prepare Freedom's Lifelines..." is evident throughout all of this year’s educational programs and tracks. This past year has presented the emergency management community with several challenging events. These events, although devastating, have produced an opportunity to learn from adversity and serve as the basis for many of our educational sessions.

The Planning Committee worked hard to recognize the diversity of the myriad of disaster management and response agencies and their unique educational needs. We have designed the Disaster 2005 program to "Prepare Freedom's Lifelines...".

Audience
All persons and agencies involved with emergency preparedness, management and response...firefighters, EMS personnel, emergency managers, hospital administrators, physicians, nurses, DMAT personnel, disaster planning coordinators, medical facility administrators, law enforcement officials, search and rescue responders, civil preparedness officials, mass fatality responders, and others who play important roles in critical incidents.
