The 3rd International Conference on Urban Disaster Reduction (3ICUDR) builds on an established practice of international collaboration and knowledge-sharing after disaster events in Japan, US, and Taiwan. In this third conference, New Zealand joins the three collaborating countries. The mission of the conference is to develop, integrate and promote new knowledge and best practices in sustainable disaster recovery, with a particular emphasis on urban environments.
The 3ICUDR will take place from September 28-October 1, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. More information about the conference will be posted on this website as it becomes available. Questions regarding the 3ICUDR should be sent to
