EARTH EX Live is an opportunity to hear about disaster consequences from experts in different critical infrastructure sectors and to be able to ask them questions as part of the live exercise experience. You will hear the concerns and inter-sector needs of critical infrastructure organizations in your community when a disaster occurs. EARTH EX Live is a chance to gain a perspective on how response and recovery happen before the next disaster.
So far, you are successfully fending off cyberattacks. But the timing of the next zero-day exploit is unknown. Are you well prepared for an EMP or GMD event? How will these affect you? EARTH EX Live WILL help you find your vulnerabilities and prompt greater resilience!
Enriched with tailored video “injects,” this unique event will offer a window into the thinking of a remarkable group of experts at a time of unprecedented, civilization-scale threats.
Participating experts from different sectors will explore the unique risks and national and global resilience opportunities associated with extreme threats.
The live exercise will be hosted as a large-scale, international webinar, with viewers joining from all over the world participating by submitting real-time questions in “chat mode” which will be added to the expert’s discussion and addressed online by EIS Council’s subject matter experts.
The WHO R&D Blueprint is organizing a consultation to apply scientific lessons learned during the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic and other recent outbreak to address the research needs for unknown agents capable of future pandemics – Pathogen X.
This will be a hybrid meeting that will be held from 09h00 to 18h00 CET (Geneva time) each day on 29 and 30 August 2022 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Main discussion points include the following, with reference to research and development leading to safe and effective vaccines and therapeutics:
* - Review of previous pandemics with an emphasis on COVID-19
* What relevant scientific information did we have before the pandemic?
* What scientific strategies were successful?
* What scientific strategies could be improved?
* What will the next pandemic look like?
* What research will facilitate identification of the next pandemic?
* What needs to be done to prepare for possible pathogens, including unexpected or re-emerging pathogens (e.g., AMR)?
* What can be done in advance of the next pandemic?
* What are the scientific and research gaps? And how can they be met?
* How can scientific and research findings facilitate vaccine and therapeutic development?
* How can other approaches, such as TPPs and regulatory convergence, facilitate response to a future pandemic?
Marcy Cravat's new film, Terrain, features the controversial Dr. Andrew Kaufman who, for the past two years, has become well known for his advocacy of the terrain theory of disease and opposition to the long established belief that viruses and other germs are responsible for contagion. The film presents Kaufman's argument in a concise two part cinematic journey that will make the most ardent germ theorist question this most foundational assumption upon which much of the allopathic system of medicine resides.
