The Perfect Storm Disaster Ethics Symposium and Public Forum

The Center for Practical Bioethics hosted a symposium and public forum on the ethics of readiness, response and recovery of disasters on December 7, 2011 in Kansas City.

The symposium featured presentations by medical professionals who were on the scene during the Hyatt Hotel disaster in Kansas City, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and the tornado that ripped through Joplin, Missouri in May 2011.

Michael Weaver, MD, an emergency medicine physician with Saint Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Missouri, led the committee that planned the program.
