Natural and human-caused disasters have left indelible marks on societies throughout history. Join us as we delve into the complexities of post-disaster reconstruction, drawing upon historic precedent to shape a more resilient future. This two-day conference will explore historic disasters’ present impact.

Four sessions will focus on typologies of earthquake, fire, conflict, and air & water.
