Understanding Risk BC

URBC is a collaborative symposium that fosters place-based risk reduction strategies to enhance resilience and improve disaster recovery pathways.

How do we incentivize #risk reduction & #resilience, given that most #development in BC constitutes 'development in hazardous areas'? Join URBC's Regional Resilience Roundtable, Thurs Oct 7th. https://t.co/DIiL7HViLV #flood #earthquake #fire

risk= (hazard x risk) / capacity. No it's not, says "Dez Astor" (#urbc2020 comedian). Risk = (really bad decisions I've made x important things I've forgotten) / how little sleep I've gotten.

#urbc2020 is asking how we live in this landscape that can change without notice, how we can implement the #sendai framework on the ground in #BC.
