North Carolina, USA

THE DISASTER RESILIENCE DIVIDEND

The DRD is

HEALTH on a global scale

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social

well-beingand not merely the absence of

disease or infirmity“

GLOBAL EDUATIONAL SURGES WILL HELP MAKE

THE DRD A REALITY

BENEFIT/COST = 7 BILLION

GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL SURGES:

A WAY TO CAUSE A PARADIGM SHIFT

FROM A TREND OF INCREASING DISASTERS TO GLOBAL HEALTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY

FOUR UNIVERSAL ROOT CAUSES OF DISASTERS

• IGNORANCE

• APATHY

• DISCIPLINARY BOUNDARIES

• UNWISE DECISIONS

A DISASTER is ---

--- the set of failures that occur when three continuums: 1)  people, 2) community (i.e., a set of habitats, livelihoods, and social constructs), and 3) recurring events (e.g., floods, earthquakes, ...,) intersect at a point in space and time, when and where the people and community are not ready.   

REALITY 101

• DISASTER = KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT TRANSFER AND IMPLEMEN- TATION

• DISASTER RESILIENCE = KNOWLEDGE WITH TRANSFER AND IMPLEMEN-TATION

REALITY 101

A disaster is the result of NOT IMPLEMENTING

knowledge-based policies to reduce

vulnerability and risk
