EMC 2022 MELBOURNE
- TUESDAY 5 - WEDNESDAY 6 JULY 2022
- PULLMAN MELBOURNE ALBERT PARK
About the conference
It will be our 21st EMC conference with the theme:
‘The only thing that is constant is change’
– Heraclitus c.500BC
How is emergency management adapting? The last 2 years have seen us careering from one natural disaster to another without pause and without warning. And each event demands a completely different strategy from responders.
Future success will be influenced by how well we can adapt, replacing old organisational strategies with the ability to react to quickly changing conditions.
