Diana Rowland Panels Day Start End Title Description Location Panelists Friday 5:00 PM 5:50 PM Disaster Response in Science Fiction and Fantasy Many SFF stories feature cataclysmic events , both natural and man-made , that rain destruction on civilian populations. We’re accustomed to seeing the camera spend a few moments “looking for the helpers” as our heroes crash through occupied buildings or drop mines on the Klingon fleet, but what about the hours and days that follow? What opportunities do science fiction and fantasy present to educate and reflect on disaster response processes in the real world?
