2011’s EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A GLOBAL WAKE-UP-CALL: OUR CITIES MUST BECOME DISASTER RESILIENT Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

2011 showed that a city’s ability to avoid catastrophic mortality, morbidity, and economic losses depends upon its resilience (i.e., the capability to take a hit from a natural hazard and bounce back after it happens).

2011’s MAIN LESSON DISASTERS and CATASTROPHES OCCUR WHEN ALL FOUR PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE ARE NOT IN PLACE.

YOUR COMMUNITY DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS HAZARD MAPS INVENTORY VULNERABILITY LOCATION RISK ASSESSMENT RISK ACCEPTABLE RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK ANTICIPATORY DECISIONS BEST POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR: PREPAREDNESS PROTECTION RESPONSE & RECOVERY 4 PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE
