THREE STEPS TOWARDS GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE in 2014. Continuation of a renewed emphasis on promoting our 2014 paradigm of global disaster resilience. Step 1: Integrating Today’s Global Knowledge Into Global Books of Knowledge Step 2: From Today’s Books of Knowledge to Innovative Capacity Building Step 3: From Today’s Paradigm to Tomorrow’s Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction

1. GLOBAL DISASTER RISKS THAT
BECOME ECONOMIC LOSSES

2. GLOBAL DISASTER RESILIENCE
The Paradigm for 2014
That Makes Our Tomorrows Better
STEP 1

3. TOWARDS GLOBAL
DISASTER RESILIENCE
• Step 1: Integrating Today’s Global
Knowledge Into Global Books of
Knowledge
• Step 2: From Today’s Books of
Knowledge to Innovative Capacity
Building
• Step 3: From Today’s Paradigm to
Tomorrow’s

4. LACK OF EARTHQUAKE
RESILIENCE HAS RESULTED IN
DEATHS REACHING
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
ECONOMIC LOSSES
REACHING HUNDREDS OF
BILLIONS

5. STEP 1
Integrating Today’s Global
Knowledge Into Global Books of
Knowledge

6. WHAT DO WE KNOW?
• Floods, hurricanes, tropical
storms, typhoons, cyclones,
tornadoes, nor'easters,
earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcanic eruptions, wildfires,
and landslides will recur during
2014 and ad infinitum.

7. GLOBAL NATURAL HAZARDS
• FLOODS
• SEVERE
WINDSTORMS
• EARTHQUAKES
• TSUNAMIS
• DROUGHTS
• VOLCANIC
ERUPTIONS
• LANDSLIDES
• WILDFIRES

8. GLOBAL DISASTER RISKS THAT
BECOME ECONOMIC LOSSES

9. WHAT DO WE KNOW?
• All natural hazards test the
disaster resilience of our
governments, our institutions,
and our communities.

10. LIVING WITH NATURAL HAZARDS
NO DISASTERS:
DEMANDS ON
COMMUNITY
CAPABILITIES OF
COMMUNITY

11. WHAT DO WE KNOW?
• Some natural hazards will
cause a disaster.

12. LIVING WITH NATURAL HAZARDS
A DISASTER:
INSUFFICIENT
CAPABILITIES OF
COMMUNITY
INCREASED
DEMANDS ON
COMMUNITY

13. EVERY TIME A DISASTER
OCCURS, WE HAVE NEW
KNOWLEDGE TO ADD TO THE
“GLOBAL BOOKS OF
KNOWLEDGE”
