Remember Hurricane Katrina?🌀

That was 2005.

2024 will be a year to remember!

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

There are no natural disasters.

Calling disasters "natural" suggests we are powerless.

We are not.

We know how to:
👉 reduce exposure and vulnerability.
👉 to improve governance.
👉 take responsibility for protecting those at risk.

A critique of travel:
🔸 Travel turns us into the worst version of ourselves while convincing us that we’re at our best. Call this the traveller’s delusion
🔸 We go to experience a change, but end up inflicting change on others

On a more critical note: when and for whom do sea walls make sense? They’re an important element of DRR approaches, but often create severe “side effects”. Judge for yourself…

[Roger C. Baars @RogerBaars]

It’s heartening to see positive and empowering ideas blossoming 🌻❤️

[Roger C. Baars @RogerBaars]

Every time I’m coming to Sendai and see the devastation the triple disaster has caused to schools and communities I feel shaken to the core.
