FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management (IJRCM)Hershey, PA – December 10, 2012– IGI Global, an international publishing company specializing in high-quality research publications in the fields of computer science and information technology management, is pleased to announce the support of the International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management (IJRCM) as a media partner of the 2013 International Disaster Conference Expo, an annual global symposium focused on sharing best-practices in emergency management, homeland security, business community, economic stability, and disaster preparation. This conference provides practitioners with opportunities to collect innovative knowledge and share their ideas in a credible forum.

First US Secretary of Homeland Security and Co-Chair of IDCE 2013 Tom Ridge, remarks:

“Recent natural disasters, man-made crises and geopolitical unrest have demonstrated that our world has never been more interdependent. Catastrophes now have second and third order impacts that transcend levels of government and jurisdictional boundaries as well as industry sectors and supply chains. It is critical that top international preparedness, emergency management and resilience leaders—from both the public and private sectors—have a forum to develop relationships and share ideas. IDCE provides such a global forum.”

The International Disaster Conference Expo will be held from January 8th through 10th in New Orleans, Louisiana. Some of the organizations scheduled to present for this conference include the Red Cross, the United Nations, the US Department of Defense, and more. For more information on this conference, visit the IDCE Website.

The International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management (IJRCM) provides a platform for interdisciplinary publications that examine risk, uncertainty, and contingency. The journal encourages risk and contingency research in disciplines such as healthcare, natural resources, agriculture, government, military, technology, and more. Editor of IJRCM Dr. Kenneth David Strang is a specialist in such areas, with a Doctorate in Project Management as well as certification as a Project Management Professional from The Project Management Institute. Dr. Strang is a Fellow of the Life Management Institute from the Life Office Management Association. He teaches subjects in business, in class as well as online, and supervises doctorate students.
