<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The park provides a relaxing atmosphere for continuing discussionof ideas generated at the workshop. <br />But, don't plan on working 100 hard; softhall, volleyball, and maybe a few other sports, in addition to live music <br />(featuring the world famous band, Spurs of the Moment), will be on tap. Dress is decidedly casual. Sturdy walking <br />shoes or tennies are strongly recommended as is a light sweater or jacket (if we 're lucky and it's not 90'+). <br /> <br />Food will be served between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Be sure to hring your name badge with a red "barbecue" <br />stamp on the back. <br /> <br />If you prefer to drive to the barbecue rather than take the bus, parking is available at Tom Watson Park. <br />Obtain directions from Diane or Janet-two of our extraordinarily capable staff-at the registration table in the <br />Century Room. <br /> <br />Buses will return to the Regal Harvest House as they fill, the last departing no later than 9:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Wednesday Morning <br /> <br />From 7:00-8: 15 a.m., a "Gender and Disaster" round table discussion will take place in the Millennium <br />Room on Level I. Elaine Enarson will preside. Coffee will be available for attendees. <br /> <br />Coffee for the not-so-early risers will be available in the foyer outside the Grand Balltoom on Level 2 <br />beginning at 7:45 a.lll. <br /> <br />Beginning at 8:30 a.m., two sets of concurrent sessions (held in the breakout rooms on Levels I and 2, as <br />well as in Suite 331, Level 3, South Wing) will give researchers and hazard managers an opportunity to exchange <br />observations on new or recently completed projects. Each researcher or manager will briefly relate the intent of <br />herlhis project. No discussants have been designated for these infonnal sessions; all participants are encouraged to <br />provide comments and suggestions on the research or project described. <br /> <br />Two of these sessions are devoted especially 10 graduate students (new professionals) interested in hazards <br />research and management. All students are welcome to take part, If you are a student and would like to make a brief <br />presentation regarding your hazards-related research during one of these sessions, please sign up at the registration <br />desk by Tuesday evening. The number of people who sign up will determine the amount of time available for <br />presentations. (The names already listed on the agenda for these sessions are those who let us know in advance that <br />they intend to make a presentation.) <br /> <br />After a break, a plenary session (in the Canyon half of the Grand Ballroom on Level 2) will review hazards <br />past, present, and future from the perspectives of policy, research, and practice. Following that, Center Director <br />Dennis Mileti, will make a few fmal remarks, and the workshop will draw to a close at 12:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Wednesday Afternoon <br /> <br />Those who preregistered for the Open House at the Natural Hazards Center Library should meet in the <br />lobby of the Harvest House Hotel at 1:00 p.m. for transportation over to the library. <br /> <br />Other Notes <br /> <br />Posters will be available for viewing during the entire workshop, not just during the scheduled poster <br />session on Sunday evening. Feel free 10 peruse them anytime. <br />
