- People in Disasters Conference - Leading in Disaster Recovery: A companion through the chaos
- dc.description
-
A video of a presentation by Elizabeth McNaughton during the fourth plenary of the 2016 People in Disasters Conference. McNaughton is the Director of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Learning and Legacy programme at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The presentation is titled, "Leading in Disaster Recovery: A companion through the chaos".
The abstract for this presentation reads as follows:
Leading in disaster recovery is a deeply human event - it requires us to reach deep inside of ourselves and bring to others the best of who we can be. It's painful, tiring, rewarding and meaningful. The responsibility can be heavy and at times leaders feel alone. The experienced realities of recovery leadership promoted research involving over 100 people around the globe who have worked in disaster recovery. The result is distilled wisdom from those who have walked in similar shoes to serve as a companion and guide for recovery leaders. The leadership themes in Leading in Disaster Recovery: A companion through the chaos include hard-won, honest, personal, brave insights and practical strategies to serve and support other recovery leaders. This guidance is one attempt amongst many others to change the historic tendency to lurch from disaster to disaster without embedding learning and knowledge - something we cannot afford to do if we are to honour those whose lives have been lost or irreversibly changed by disaster. If we are to honour the courageous efforts of those who have previously served disaster-impacted communities we would be better abled to serve those impacted by future disasters.

- The 10th Brunel International Lecture Series: Collectively we are Stronger
- dc.description
-
The first Executive General Manager of SCIRT, Duncan Gibb, was appointed as the 10th Brunel International Lecturer in 2013 and made an honorary Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
The Brunel International Lecture was instituted in 1999 in memory of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, 1806-1859, one of the world's most respected engineers. His work revolutionised modern engineering. Each Brunel lecturer is chosen for their contribution to civil engineering.
Gibb's lecture described the SCIRT model, and explained that innovative ways of collaborative thinking and action are required to mitigate, prepare for and respond to crisis.
The lecture was delivered at more than 30 locations in 27 countries to engineers, planners, designers, developers and policy makers throughout 2014 and 2015.
In August 2015 Gibb presented his Brunel Lecture to an audience in Christchurch, New Zealand. The lecture is entitled Collectively we are stronger: Engineers generating collaborative solutions to strengthen community resilience post-disaster.
