“Humanitarian crises and disasters (both natural and man-made), if not addressed rapidly and effectively, can deteriorate quickly with sometimes significant repercussions. Disaster relief operations are inherently multi-agency, and often multinational operations that are undertaken as part of an integrated approach.” - Joint Doctrine Publication 3-52

BattleLab in Dorset seek to provide a space for networking and discussion on the topic of HADR. We therefore seek speakers who have undertaking such activity, able to impart wisdom of their lived experience. Concurrently we seek academic and or industry solutions that may enable or elicit a more effective response. Solutions that may provide greater resilience, response time, communications, logistics or perspectives. From water filtration, power generations and shelter to human factors and behaviour - if you are interested in taking part, please submit your response below.

Planning for this event is still in its infancy, depending on uptake further details will be announced later this year. This form is purely to gauge possible interest from the HADR community, and to help shape a possible future event on 9 Mar 23
