The Multi-Hazards Programme - which includes the summer school, a campus safety workshop and various public fora - was started in 2013 by IRIDeS and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) to address the threat of frequent natural disasters in the infamous Ring of Fire - the seismically active belt of volcanoes and tectonic plate boundaries that fringes the Pacific basin.
The main objectives of this programme are to harness the collective capacities of APRU - and AEARU - for cutting-edge research on disaster risk reduction (DRR), share disaster risk management strategies and contribute to international policy-making in order to improve DRR.
