Hosted in KwaZulu-Natal, a region no stranger to disaster impacts, the 2025 event is more than just a conference—it’s a movement towards building a safer, more resilient continent using cutting-edge tools like:

​

• Drones – for rapid damage assessments, search and rescue, and real-time situational awareness

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) – to power predictive models and early warning systems

• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – to visualise, plan, and respond to disaster risks
