2011’s DISASTERS ADD TO THE GLOBAL BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE ON DISASTER RESILIENCE Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

IMPACTED NATIONS Japan, Chile, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, New Zealand, North and South Korea, Turkey, Thailand, The Philippines, Australia, Mexico, The United States (Texas, Central, East Coast), - - -

2011 showed that a community’s survival depends more than ever upon its resilience (i.e., the capability to bounce back after a complex disaster)

2011’s MAIN LESSON DISASTERS OCCUR WHEN COMMUNITIES FAIL TO ADOPT REALISTIC POLICIES AND IMPLEMENT BEST PRACTICES TO PUT ALL FOUR PILLARS OF RESILIENCE IN PLACE

YOUR COMMUNITY DATA BASES AND INFORMATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS HAZARD MAPS INVENTORY VULNERABILITY LOCATION RISK ASSESSMENT RISK ACCEPTABLE RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK ANTICIPATORY DECISIONS BEST POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR: PREPAREDNESS PROTECTION RESPONSE & RECOVERY 4 PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE

DISASTER RESILIENCE IS NOT A SOLUTION ON THE BLACK-BOARD

HOW TO FAIL FACT: NO CITY CAN MOVE TOWARDS DISASTER RESILIENCE WITHOUT AN INTEGRATED STRATEGY. FACT: NO CITY CAN MOVE TOWARDS DISASTER RESILIENCE WITHOUT AN INTEGRATED STRATEGY. NO IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES FOR DISASTER RESILIENCE CAPACITY FOR DISASTER RESILIENCE DISASTER RESILIENCE
