Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Meetings

As part of the evaluation of the OFDA/CRED initiative related to EM-DAT - Emergency Event Database - Technical Advisory Meetings have been implemented and are held once a year.

The objective of the TAG meetings is to discuss and share with the TAG members different aspects related to the EM-DAT initiative and development. Those meetings produce a series of extremely useful recommendations for the continuous improvement of EM-DAT database and its related proposed services.
