International Telecommunication Union (ITU) jointly with the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) and the Commonwealth Secretariat's Governance and Institutional Development Department (GIDD) is organizing the "Using ICT for Effective Disaster Management Pacific Forum" from 7 to 9 July 2009 in Apia, Samoa. The Forum, which will kindly be hosted by the Government of Samoa, will bring together policy makers, national disaster management officers and experts, as well as ICT professionals from across the region and beyond. It is envisaged that the practical tools and the interactive nature of the Forum will result in the establishment of sustainable mechanisms for networking, improved stakeholder collaboration and capacity building across the region.
