On 21 April 2019, Easter explosions in SriLanka killed at least 253 people. At least 40 foreign nationals and at least 45 children reported to be among the dead. Effort to compile experience by @TheIBRN team led by @JackWDenny @genevieve_langd

Thank you @iainoverton & @AOAV - great to share my views on the role of data-driven and #blastengineering approaches for informing the protection of civilians from blast, the #EWIPA #PoliticalDeclaration and broader advocacy efforts.

Great interview with @aoav board member Jack Denny (@JackWDenny): academic expertise informing very real life issues

To implement the #Declaration, we need to understand the blast effects of what we are trying to protect people from.
@AOAV and @TheIBRN's @JackWDenny explored why engineering-perspectives matter when discussing the protection of civilians from #EWIPA.👇

Blast research has long focused on military, not civilian priorities. Dr Rebecca Genny-Brown, @Jim_batch and @JackWDenny from @UniSouthampton have set out to change this - read more: buff.ly/3Tz3TN6

Excellent event & interesting discussions! Thank you @UNIDIR & @WeaponsMonitor for inviting me and the @TheIBRN to participate in this important workshop concerning data collection on the effects of explosive weapons in populated areas #EWIPA
🧵 (1/3) UNIDIR & @WeaponsMonitor are convening experts from across humanitarian, development and peace & security fields for a workshop discussing measures & effective practices for strengthening the collection of data on the reverberating effects of the use of #EWIPA ⬇️

Day 2!
With April’s Oslo Conf. approaching, UNIDIR & @WeaponsMonitor is promoting a discuss. with States, IOs & civil society on how the Political Declaration on EWIPA can be leveraged to strengthen efforts to collect data to prevent & reduce civilian harm from the use of #EWIPA

Today France & @AOAV held a side event on "Mitigating IEDs effects". Many thanks to panelists @iainoverton @TIGizelis @JackWDenny Jenny Dathan for their deep data analysis (huge impact on civilians, esp. women) and subsequent recommendations to policymakers & urban planners.

How can the global engineering community take action in #DisasterRiskReduction?
As David Smith emphasised at a recent @UN event, engineers are well placed to provide innovative solutions, but cross-collaboration is vital to accelerating #DRR.
