Description
The Office of Emergency Planning hosted the 4th All Island Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Conference, in Ballymascanlon House Hotel, Dundalk, Co. Louth, on 29 and 30 April 2026.
This All Island Disaster Risk Reduction Conference series was commenced in light of the significant crises and emergency situations that have, or could have, an impact on a cross-border basis on the island of Ireland. The growing complexity of risks highlights the value in increasing cross-sectoral and cross-border cooperation for emergency preparedness, management, recovery, and resilience.
The attendees of the conference were drawn from the island, with a focus on those working at a strategic level in public administration, semi-state, academic, voluntary, and private sector. The attendees worked together on practical issues of common concern on strategic emergency management to contribute to the creation of cohesion across the island.
