Abstract

“Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and landslips are phenomena which are part of the natural evolution of the Earth since they are determined by the relentless force of plate tectonics. We should necessarily increase our knowledge of those phenomena in order to deal with them and safeguard human lives and their tangible and intangible properties. In-depth information and subsequent risk awareness are the first steps leading to a different relationship with natural disasters.” From the foreword of the book Building Back Better. Ideas and pathways for creation of resilient communities, which will be presented together with REDI, the open partnership to Reduce Risks of Natural Disasters.
