Our topic will be an update on progress with gender-related issues in emergency management since we first visited this subject during June 1998. Both men and women have specific experiences with the impacts of disaster, and a range of practical resources and tools are available for the emergency management practitioner. Our returning guest will be Dr. Elaine Enarson, researcher, author, educator, and a founding member of the Gender in Disaster Network.
