“Earthquakes don’t kill — buildings do.”

“Not implementing DRR today, inevitably leads to the need for ES tomorrow.”

DRR ideas for shelter projects

• Strap the roof to the ground

• Co-create a hazard map

• Develop a game to make the resilience start a fun activity

• Upgrade containers to make them feel more like a home

• Work on connecting risk-relevant stakeholders and communities

• Plant tree to reduce flood risks

• Prepare fire exit plans in tight settlements

• …

“God is not mad at us”

• NATURAL DISASTER  → Natural hazards may cause disasters, if we don't act in anticipation.

• Risk = (Hazard x Vulnerability) / Capacity 

• DRR methods: Prevention, Mitigation, Preparedness, Early-warning systems

• Resilience: Community managed capacity to withstand and/or recover quickly from shocks and disasters. 

“Size doesn't matter” ^^

• Connect with people: Interact with others as deeply as you can.

• Understand the context: Get to know the context as well as you can.

• Act: Implement with care, passion, and intuition.

• Learn: Monitor, reflect, question, evaluate.
