This Conference is dedicated to the honor and memory of Fredrick Cuny. Fred was a co-founder of the University of Wisconsin-Disaster Management Center in 1982. Until his death in 1995, he served on its executive committee, contributing enormously to the programs of the UW-DMC. Fred encouraged the development of the Emergency Settlement Project and the conference as a member of the board of advisors. The world has lost a great humanitarian.
