08-09 November 2022, Abu Dhabi (UAE): Director Dr. Sven Benthaus (Germany) and Head of Forensic Odontology ETAF Dr. Eddy De Valck (Belgium) are invited as speaker at the Regional Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Conference at Abu Dhabi. The conference is focused on the regional DVI preparedness as a multidisciplinary team approach. Adapting the local cultural and religious demands as well as the accessible equipment at an early stage does not only make the forensic process transparent for the victims relatives but avoids failures and bottle necks in the DVI workflow itself. When disaster strikes, it is crucial to familiarize with ones own structures (manpower, experts, morgues, plassdata etc.) in order to optimize preparation by strenghtening not only the international but also the local and regional society by working as a team.
