MEDIA
Welcome to the Media Section of the Regional Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction for the Americas (RP17). Please visit this section of the website to find important dates and up-to-date information on the RP17.
Media are invited to attend RP17 to know more about Canada and the Americas’ regional priorities, including commitments made to improve national, hemispheric and international resilience. The RP17 will focus on identifying how governments, civil society leaders, technical and scientific institutions, the private sector and media can work together toward building capacity in the region and to meet the targets of the Sendai Framework.
Plenary sessions, side events on disaster risk reduction, a Photographic exhibit, and a Marketplace will all be held during the RP17, and are open to accredited media (some exceptions apply). A Press Conference area and Media Centre will be available onsite and media will have the opportunity to engage with delegates during the event.
A detailed media itinerary will be shared with registered media closer to the event.
In the meantime, please read the Media Logistics Notes for important information for Media as it relates to attending the RP17.
All media representatives are required to apply online to access the Media Centre and to attend the RP17 and are required to identify any special requirements for media facilities by February 17, 2017.
