Making (or not making) our world disaster resilient is our legacy. History will decide which legacy we actually leave. The keys to resilience: 1) know the disaster history of your region, 2) be well-prepared 3) have a warning system 4) have an evacuation plan 5) learn from every global experience and start over. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance For Disaster Reduction.
