@StanderDI @RMS @linaliakou @LaurenSorkin18 @Berkmic @andysalkin @samkernaghan @GlobalResCities It’ll be won where the problem is measured, and well quantified decisions are taken. Understanding impacts, and what actions best reduce them, is key... #RMSclimatechats

@StanderDI @RMS A1: The ability of communities to prepare for respond & adapt to an uncertain future with the best available data #RMSClimateChats #EXCD2020

[Alice Hill @Alice_C_Hill]

Every dollar we spend on mitigation saves $6 on average in damages. We need to make sure investments grow in reducing risk. Let’s not spend it all on response. #RMSclimatechats

[Alice Hill @Alice_C_Hill]

Agree. How do you evacuate AND social distance? Governments do not plan for simultaneous extremes. We need to make that a priority. #Rmsclimatechats

How does #Dorian compare to past hurricanes? Take a look at our RMS @hwind Dorian wind field comparison.

@StanderDI , Global MD, RMS: "Thanks to this study, what we now have is robust methodology for demonstrating the return on investments in resilience. With climate risk increasing, it’s even more important that stakeholders avail themselves of such analytical techniques.”

Success in #resilience is often something that doesn’t happen. A storm hits, but a community stays intact. Making a strong economic case for capturing these “avoided losses” is essential. Read our latest with @RMS @VividEconomics @DFID_UK @LloydsofLondon https://t.co/b1ooQoSYoX

[Mayor Francis Suarez @MiamiMayor]

Great exchange of ideas at tonight’s Resilience Forum! We discussed uncovering new ways to sustain ourselves through the environmental & economic stresses of sea level rise & other impacts affecting our region. Thankful to @RMS & @StanderDI for promoting resiliency. #Resilient305

[Daniel Stander @StanderDI]

Remember this moment: the first time a local government official explained the economic rationale behind their flood #resilience strategy using a loss exceedance probability curve. Kudos, @JenniferLJurado! || #CATRISK18 https://t.co/nWRZ9UOIoD
