Excerpts from the Webinar held on 12Sep2013 by Interaction for "FEDEX award for Innovations in Disaster Preparedness"

SaveTheHills is shortlisted as one of the 6 finalists for the FEDEX award for "Innovations in Disaster Preparedness" and as such participated in a webinar organized by Interaction on12Sep2013.
Placed above is a 12 minute clip, a sort of collage of the webinar of 12Sep2013. The entire program lasted a little more than an hour and mercifully the internet here was rock steady for the duration.
Anticipating connectivity problems STH had uploaded a  pre-recorded 3min presentaion onto Youtube much earlier and the same was shown during the webinar (whereas most other finalists presented LIVE)
We regret not being able to upload the entire proceedings due to costs involved.
