I will attend a panel discussion event on 23rd November Saturday from 2pm-5pm at Columbia University. If you are interested in post-disaster activities in Northern East of Japan, hit by tsunami in 2011 March, or more generally disaster relief/management field and practice, please join us!
Here are event description and a Flyer.

Consortium for Japan Relief (CJR) would like to invite you to our Fall 2013 event: “Students Speak Out: Hope in the Face of Disaster.” We will have a panel of 4-5 students, with varying experiences in natural disaster recovery efforts, speak on a number of topics. Our panel speakers have had experiences in Fukushima, Japan, New York, NY, and Joplin, Missouri.
We hope that this event will not only showcase the meaningful and impressive initiatives CU students are involved in, but also stimulate dialogue about the similarities and differences between disaster recovery efforts in different countries and situations. Especially in light of the recent typhoon in the Philippines, CJR believes that such discussion and exchange of know-hows and experiences are crucial.
The event will take place from 2-4pm on Saturday, November 23rd in Room 403, Kent Hall, Columbia University. An informal reception will follow.
