After a break, we will return to a plenary session that focuses on the political economy of hazards. During breaks, beverages will be served in the Garden Area immediately behind the hotel, and lunches will be served under the Pavilion, on the hotel grounds just east of the tennis courts. If you have purchased lunch, your "ticket" is stamped on the back of your name badge. Be sure to have it with you when you go through the buffet line.
