With increasing exposure to extreme #climate events, economic & infra losses are set to rise significantly across the world. Nations must come together today to address the immediate need for #ResilientInfra! Let’s join hands & rally for a more resilient future #CDRI UNDRR

#EidMubarak  to all who are celebrating

Did you know that Afghanistan has more displaced on account of disaster than conflict? DRR has therefore become an issue in the midst of conflict. Our paper takes stock. We find valuable yet sobering lessons: resolving conflict/ governance remains top priority for DRR at scale.

Congratulations to our team in #Sacramento for winning the 2020 Design-Build Institute of America​ Western Pacific Dictinction Award for the Sacramento State​ Union expansion!

Great article, we similarly advocate for a harmreduction rather than a zerorisk approach in disaster response; further transferable lessons include 1. Using data to drive policy; 2. leverage local partners/networks; 3. Risilient Infrastructure + businesses matter

Looking forward to discussing some of the things the media doesn’t tell us about affordable housing with Claudio Acioly Jr and Davina! Join us for an interesting discussion! Via GBB Venture

M7.4 earthquake in Oaxaca, Mexico; photos from close to the epicenter. We‘re in coordination with the authorities and damage assessment teams, which we helped train in conducting these critical first response activities with the support from USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance under PREPARE program

Our Asia-Pacific Rep. & MIT Executive MBA alum, Elizabeth Petheo writes: "The bottom line is that when a disaster happens, the right leadership and cultivated culture of preparedness will make it easier to pivot and adapt" See the full MIT Sloan School of Management blog: emba.mit.edu/blog-post/lead…

We‘ve revised our training plan and community outreach work to responsibly and safely meet the new operating challenges and proud to continue working with Ecuadorian builders and home-owners affected by the 2016 #earthquake #disaster to #BuildBackBetter #resiliencematters

A highlight: Successfully resuming the Incident Command Systems training with Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) in Pasto, Colombia under the PREPARE program of ⁦USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance⁩; we’re making it work virtually!

In 30 seconds 1000 yrs of history and culture turn to rubble. On the anniversary of the Amatrice earthquake we are reminded of these continuous tragic losses, and the importance of investing in risk mitigation to save lives and heritage #disastermanagement

Even small donations will help a family replace the windows, doors or roofing commonly impacted. These simple fixes mean a displaced family can get back home. In the time of #COVID, we all understand how important a safe home is right now. miyamotorelief.org/beirut

When #COVID19 hit Trinidad and Tobago, engineers couldn't visit building sites for the Port of Spain #earthquake risk study we're working on with ODPM Trinidad and Tobago. Luckily, our PREPARE team and UWISeismic Research came up with an innovative way to safely collect data.

Thank you to everyone logging in to the PREPARE Guatemala launch this morning. Guatemala is the newest country in the PREPARE Program family and we're thrilled to be working alongside USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and @PCIGlobal to evaluate and reduce seismic vulnerability in #GuatemalaCity

Myth or reality: is Haiti safer today? At conferences, and in the disaster research literature, presenters/authors often discuss humanitarian failures related to the international community’s response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Was it in vein? preventionweb.net/news/view/76362
