Dear Friends,
On behalf of the 5th International Conference on Geoinformation Technology for Natural Disaster Management (GiT4NDM) committee, I would like to invite you to participate in the 5th International Conference on GiT4NDM. The Waterloo Institute for Disaster Management (WIDM) in Canada jointly with Dewey College are excited to be hosting at this event on October 9th-11th, 2013 at the Dewey College; 5889 Coopers Ave., Mississauga, Ontario, L4Z 1P9, Canada (

In addition, there will be an exhibition beside the 5th GiT4NDM 2013. The exhibition will provide a showcase for the state-of-the-art geo-information and communication technology products and services. Interested sectors of the geospatial data providers and economy should cease the opportunity to showcasing their products and solutions. Please see the attached brochure for 5th GiT4NDM 2013. In addition, we have a pre-conference workshop on Open Source Hands-on GIS
