Annual National Roundtable on Disaster Risk Reduction

The purpose of the Annual National Roundtable on Disaster Risk Reduction (the Roundtable) is to bring together the general membership of Canada's Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction in an open, inclusive, equitable forum. The Roundtable serves as a venue for Canada's ongoing national dialogue on DRR, the administrative annual general meeting for the Platform, and an opportunity for deliberative dialogue among DRR stakeholders.

Participation in the Roundtable is open to any interested parties, departments, organizations or individuals.  There is no fee for participation.

The purpose of the Roundtable was to bring together the general membership of Canada's Platform in an open, inclusive, equitable forum. The Roundtable serves as a venue for Canada's ongoing national dialogue on disaster risk reduction, the administrative annual general meeting for the Platform, and an opportunity for deliberative dialogue among disaster risk reduction stakeholders.
