CAR SAR News - INTERNATIONAL MASS RESCUE CONFERENCE http://blogs-it.cgaux.org/index.php/carsar/ en-US http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss INTERNATIONAL MASS RESCUE CONFERENCE <p>The International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF)announced the latest developments in the planning of their International Mass Rescue Conference, to be held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on <br /> 1-3 June 2014.<br /> <br /> This is the third of the IMRF's international conferences on maritime mass rescue operations, known as the 'Gothenburg series'. The conferences are hosted by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society. <br /> <br /> Major incidents severely test responders' capabilities; even more so when rescue or relief efforts involve operations on the water. <br /> <br /> The 2010 and 2012 conferences in the Gothenburg series, and the 2011 World Maritime Rescue Congress in Shanghai, China, helped to highlight and address many of these challenges.<br /> <br /> Please visit the IMRF website for the Programme Outline.</p> <p>For more information on Hotels and how to register, please go to the IMRF website, or contact IMRF at <a href="mailto:info@imrf.org.uk">info@imrf.org.uk</a>. <br /> <br /> If you require a personal letter of invitation for the purpose of funding, or approval, please contact IMRF at <a href="mailto:info@imrf.org.uk">info@imrf.org.uk</a>. <br /> <br /> If you are in the shipping or offshore industries or emergency response organisations at sea or on land, you should attend this key event.</p><div class="item_footer"><p><small><a href="http://blogs-it.cgaux.org/index.php/carsar/2014/01/14/international-mass-rescue-conference">Original post</a> blogged on <a href="http://b2evolution.net/">b2evolution</a>.</small></p></div> http://blogs-it.cgaux.org/index.php/carsar/2014/01/14/international-mass-rescue-conference
