It has been a busy time at the Australian Emergency Management Library with the hosting of the 23rd annual Australasian Libraries in the Emergency Sector (ALIES). Conference.  It was held at the Australian Emergency Management Institute on 15 to 17 April, the theme was "Anatomy of a Disaster", several speakers shared their experiences of working closely with survivors of natural disasters and the challenges they encountered. The workshop held Jamie McKenzie from the Country Fire Authority certainly gave the delegates something to think about in terms of decision making. 

 

The informal panel sessions gave everyone an opportunity to participate and share their experiences in the information management environment as we all strive to inform the emergency management sector.

 

This conference provided librarians from the emergency management sector the oppportunity to gain an understanding of how we can work together for the best outcome after a disaster.
