Great to be hearing all the latest and greatest tropical cyclone research at the @ametsoc #AMSTropical2021.
Looking forward to my colleague Dr Tanja Dallafior talk on how @RMS can build climate conditioned catastrophe models to understand the economic impacts of climate change.

I couldn’t agree more. Risk modelling has a big part to play in delivering #ResilienceForAll. Congratulations to the @RMS team and @BuildChange.

[Daniel Stander @StanderDI]

@Insurance_Post @FMGlobal @RMS "#Resilience can be greatly aided by #risk modelling" – thrilled to see our collaboration w/ @BuildChange recognised for delivering big on #TheResilienceDividend.

Well structured #DisasterRiskFinance can make a big difference in halting the spread of diseases like #Ebola. Let’s hope the products in place help get funding to those who need it most.

An unimaginably challenging situation in the DRC and Uganda. RMS blog provides a high-level summary and looks at current role of DRF in the complex crisis. https://t.co/VSWwHXOxZ9

@RMS Finally some good quanting of the #ResilienceDividend...

I had the opportunity to meet with @KristinJacobsFL and @StanderDI to discuss the impact of climate change and rising sea levels on Florida. @GovRonDeSantis, PLEASE listen to Mr. Stander and heed his advice. This is now on your watch. The future of Florida is at stake.

@Conor_J_Meenan @RMS @DrNickyJHowe @DobbinAlison Like the new hashtag, @Conor_J_Meenan!
Good formula for nations to deploy #ResilienceFinance.
Good mantra for everyone to realize #TheResilienceDividend.
Good guidance for global community to deliver #ResilienceForAll.

[Alison Dobbin @DobbinAlison]

The @unisdr #GAR2019 states cyber vulnerabilities can generate damage and destruction to vital infrastructure and life support systems of very large parts of societies and economies. Good that this is now being recognised and included in #SendaiFramework #GP2019Geneva

[Shaun Tarbuck ICMIF @ShaunTarbuck]

I was talking about this being the biggest risk with @DobbinAlison @RMS on Thursday not heard it being talked openly about before @StanderDI

[Daniel Stander @StanderDI]

@RMS “Completely open, interoperable + flexible... no license, no fees required”. With #Agenda2030 in mind, democratising #risk #data in this way could be a game-changer: https://t.co/kfW73SNG4L

[Daniel Stander @StanderDI]

@contrar_ian Thanks for hosting, @HeadUNISDR. Pleasure to debate #ResilienceFinance with Elke Löbel of @BMZ_Bund, @AnnVaughan1 of @mercycorps, @H_Stone1 of @DFID_UK, @tamisha_lee of @worldfarmersorg + His Excellency Lamin N. Dibba of @Presidency_GMB. #ResilienceDividend >> #ResilienceForAll.

[Alison Dobbin @DobbinAlison]

@StanderDI outlines financial instruments available to governments to develop #DRR strategies. ‘The main impediment to robust disaster financing is not a lack of data or finance but lack of knowledge’. https://t.co/hoK11T5n4l @RMS @giz_gmbh

[Nicola Howe @DrNickyJHowe]

Being educated by the fascinating Juan Caballero from @BuildChange during #GP2019Geneva - he generously shared some of his in-depth knowledge and stories of #DRR in S.America & challenges of #BuildBackBetter or indeed building better at all.

[Alison Dobbin @DobbinAlison]

Thank you @BuildChange and @StanderDI for providing data and insight for @RMS participation in today’s #GP2019Geneva panel on using age, gender and disability-responsive data in #DRR #TheResilienceDividend #DRRdynamics
