Donation to the Larry Pearce Education Award Fund
The Larry Pearce Education Award began in 2015 to provide funding for deserving post-secondary students undertaking studies in any discipline related to Canadian disaster risk and/or emergency management. This award was named after Mr. Pearce to pay tribute to his tireless efforts in advancing education and innovation in Disaster and Emergency Management studies.
Thank you for your support.

In 2015, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2015-2030, set out four priority areas for action to reduce the impacts of disasters on mortality, communities, and the economy, and to strengthen disaster risk reduction:
- Understanding disaster risk
- Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk
- Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience
- Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction
As we mark the halfway point of the Sendai Framework in 2023, this issue takes stock of the progress we have made so far. In truth, we found it hard to pull together an issue that would reflect the true current state. Perhaps it was due to burnout or the ongoing disruptions we are all facing post-pandemic, or perhaps it was due to the extremely complex topic of disaster risk, but one thing was not clear: no one seems to agree. With that in mind, we narrowed our focus to the first priority, to help create a common baseline – to understand disaster risk.
Our hope is that from this baseline, we can carry on the conversation to examine the other priorities. Just as David passed on the torch to the next generation, we need to carry on the conversation and address all priorities of the Sendai Framework.
So, let’s first understand disaster risk.

This year has proven to be particularly challenging for Disaster and Emergency Management Professionals, and the coming months promise to be equally difficult as many in our community work through long recovery processes across the country. On behalf of CRHNet, we would like to acknowledge all the hard work and commitment demonstrated by our academic partners, practitioners, industry and community partners, and all those with a vested interest in Disaster Risk Reduction. We also wish to recognize that this difficult period impacts the availability of human, financial and time resources for our members.
With all of this in mind, the Board of Directors has unanimously agreed to suspend our previously postponed Symposium event scheduled for February 2024. Over the coming months, we will shift our focus on exploring new strategic partnerships, develop additional engagement and information-sharing opportunities , expand our membership, and clearly define our new strategic priorities. This work will take place so that we can ensure the continuing relevance of our network in a constantly evolving field of research and practice.
