Dear Dr Zakaria Mohamad,
There are sessions relatign to disasters and risk reduction throughout the week (18-22 April). I advise having a look at the programme (http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/egu2016/sessionprogramme) to see which events are of interest and which day is best to attend.
Kind regards,
Joel
