SHILLONG: The IIM, Shillong has joined hands with North East Council, Shillong and International Trauma Care (ITC) India to organise the first ever international meet on disaster management from August 20 to August 22 in the city.
With the kind of economic losses and developmental setbacks that the Northeast has been suffering from due to its vulnerable location in a highly seismic zone V, incessant rains and a mountainous terrain connected only by roads, the choice of Shillong for a world colloquium on disaster management is obvious.
