Recognizing proven innovators that are transforming different areas of the Risk Management and Disaster Prevention & Recovery industry.

This is an unmissable opportunity for our visitors to take their industry knowledge into the future, and gain an upper hand in any competition! The Natural Disaster Industry Awards are a celebration of the tools, products, innovations and services which have made an outstanding impact in the industry over the past 12 months.

With three awards up for grabs at this year’s event, businesses and agencies will be nominated based on whose product, service or strategy are having a massive impact and influence among the emergency service and natural disaster response and recovery marketplace. Our Industry Awards will select a handful of exhibitors that are providing unparalleled opportunities and solutions, helping prevention, emergency, and recovery professionals to establish an extremely profitable business.

Witness first-hand the future of emergency response and natural disaster prevention, mitigation and recovery as a carefully selected panel of industry experts, thought-leaders and influencers will judge the nominees for the winner of the following awards:

Award Summaries:

Most Innovative Technology

This award goes to an innovator that has demonstrated exemplary methods and solutions that result in improved management or prevention of damage inflicted by natural disasters, fundamentally bringing about change towards safer and better prepared communities.

Analytic tools to effectively measure and manage the dangers of earthquakes, landslides, and the risks of crumbling infrastructure.

With the unpredictable and constant threat of earthquakes decimating entire cities and communities without warning, which results in billions of dollars worth of damage, access to disaster relief technology and earthquake management innovations has never been more important.

Emergency food kits, hand crank radios, and emergency signal devices are just some of the basic tech that homeowners and businesses should keep on hand to deal with the threats of earthquakes and other natural disasters as they happen. But what are some of the latest innovations that are being developed to protect communities from earthquakes?

Drones in China are being implemented to fight back against the threat of earthquakes by finding survivors and navigating disaster zones, while structural advancements in the San Francisco Bay Area utilize base isolation technology to keep crucial structures like hospitals secure during an earthquake.

Vibrating Barriers are being designed and tested to help reduce the power of vibrations caused by an earthquake’s ground waves to keep nearby structures safe from the full magnitude of each shock.

See what scientists and engineers are creating to help detect and track seismic activity, including fibre-optic communications cables used to assess magnitude levels, the discrete diode position sensor used to measure drift between building stories, and much more.

Why It’s Important To Get Involved With The Community.

With the ever present threat of earthquakes, landslides, and crumbling infrastructure as a result of such disasters, efficient communication and involvement with the local community is essential to preparing those around you when any earthquake-related disaster occurs.

Earthquakes and landslides can devastate entire communities through thousands and even millions of dollars worth in property damage and disrupt the necessary infrastructure to maintain a thriving community.

The Earthquake Expo is designed to provide Local Associations, Project Managers, Private Contractors, and Government Service Officials to have a dedicated place to network and connect for the benefit of communities as well as provide lucrative opportunities for expansion and success in the disaster prevention industry.

You can be sure to leave with a wealth of invaluable business and government contacts from across the globe that will without a doubt contribute towards your future success in all things earthquake disaster-related when you can sit down with representatives, officials, and decision makers from organizations akin to The Earthquake Country Alliance, The Earthquake Hazards Program, and The Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

The Earthquake Expo provides a first-hand experience at the latest innovations that are designed and developed to inform and prepare you and your community from earthquakes, landslides, and other ground-based disasters in addition to demonstrating advanced earthquake protection technology and simulate the many instances and situations that occur during earthquakes and the resulting damage caused by its effects.

Witness demonstrations of the latest innovations being developed to mitigate earthquake and landslide damage. See how earthquake proof homes are designed to withstand the quakes and aftershocks that create structural failure as well as simulations of earthquakes and how it can cause damage to you and your community.

Have a look at some of the latest tech in development to mitigate earthquake damage like the seismic invisibility cloak, which helps to minimize seismic waves before they reach communities. Other materials like carbon-fiber wraps and rocking core walls are shown to create support that keeps infrastructure standing.

Understanding the must-know procedures like Drop, Cover, and Hold On during an earthquake and creating a family emergency communication plan are just some of the basic tips and tools to help you and those around you during an earthquake disaster. Even new tech in rescue efforts such as heartbeat sensors helps rescue teams discover those trapped under concrete and other building materials.

Be sure you get to experience the many demonstrations and simulations that help give you and those around you a better understanding to prepare and act when any ground-based disaster occurs.

The Investors Lounge will showcase the most groundbreaking, potentially life-changing solutions and technology coming to market which combat the impact of, or aim to prevent natural disasters.

Technology companies who aim to transform the way in which the world deals with damage caused by natural disasters, akin to Opti, will be invited to showcase what they do at the point of start-up. The world’s newest, most exciting advancements will be presented by the teams who conceptualized them- providing a unique opportunity for vital information sharing, education and of course investment opportunity.

With an engaged audience of policymakers, academics, impact investors, institutional investors, financiers and philanthropies the Investors Lounge will provide the perfect environment for those considering making an investment which will help prevent destruction and help the environment while achieving a financial return. The tremendous financial positive impact The Investors Lounge can have to the individuals and teams developing technology to transform global natural disaster management is exponentially important.

The number of properties exposed to natural disaster damages continues to increase. Many properties and businesses impacted are located outside of regions identified at risk, making it increasingly important for insurers, property owners and government officials to fully understand the risk.

The Risk Management Training Academy will offer the latest analytic insights into real estate risk analysis. The latest technology and data insights will be revealed by industry experts akin to CoreLogic as well as an array of hands-on training sessions and round table discussions.

From politicians, insurers and lenders to homeowners themselves, there is a growing feeling that disaster related insurance is important and that the risk needs to be understood much better. The Risk Management Training Academy is an annual hub of committed parties to address this need, and The The Earthquake Expo Asia 2020 is proud to present this opportunity to visitors.
