Resilience Reloaded: How do we prepare for a "Megadisaster"?
The realities of modern disaster management require reinforcing infrastructure and demand real investments in our communities. Listen in as Jeffrey Schlegelmilch (National Center for Disaster Preparedness, Columbia University) and Giannis Skiadaresis (Disaster Resilience Coordinator, European Commission) examine what it takes to withstand catastrophic events. They outline the vital role of social capital, the barriers to adopting new disaster technologies, and why prioritizing children is the ultimate long-term resilience.
