The objectives of the Committee for International Communication in 2006 include the establishment of a global network primarily for the purpose of academic exchanges, and the international dissemination of information and knowledge on disaster nursing. As numerous natural disasters and human-generated disasters are occurring in many parts of the world, we believe that initiatives should be taken by academic societies to reduce the incidence or mitigate the effects of such disasters. One of the ways of achieving this is through the sharing of past experiences and knowledge. |
