Read this @guardian article to hear from people displaced by #floods in #Bangladesh. Their experience will become reality for more and more people as #climatechange leads to rising sea levels and more extreme weather https://t.co/g7iR6ACpcf

@AOrdonez asks "why should the research done in global south be limited within their borders?" #2018TTIX

@aclarkginsberg Preventing disaster risk creation is part of building resilience!

Dr. Tiffany Griffin challenging #rmelconf2018 attendees - what does it look like for our community to be resilient? Appreciate how she engages us all to think!

If you're @RMELConference today this is a presentation not to miss. Lessons on how to measure resilience from The Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance shared by @ISETInt #floodresilience #RMELConf2018

@RiskDisasterTIG There are "natural" events, like rainfall, ice storms, high tides, wildfires. They become "disasters" when they impact the natural and built environment in ways that people consider negative. So, "disasters" are entirely a human construct.

When are we going to realize that "unprecedented" should be our new expectation? #HazWs #ClimateChangeIsReal

Brilliant language to describe event frequency from Howard Kunreuther, Wharton School! https://t.co/9iYoQxtC0o

Stretch time horizons, 1-in-100 annually is the same as the 1-in-4 chance of at least one flood in the next 25 years.

To be resilient, recovery needs to include mitigation. Otherwise we trap people in a downward cycle of impact and loss. https://t.co/7VXv89VuUD
