  3. – Outstanding talk by Jose Sanchez on Coastal Risk Reductionand Resilience Activities

  4. – Day 2
    Outstanding talk by Jose Sanchez of US Army Corps of Engineers on coastal risk reduction and resilience activities. Outlines an interesting framework for resilience includes preparation/ anticipation; resistance / absorption; recovery; adaptation/ evolvement.

  5. –what an amazing symposium organized by Universities Space Research Association’s Earth from Space Institute


  6. USRA’s Earth from Space Institute’s inaugural symposium on “Making Communities More Resilient to Extreme Flooding” started today. Sen. Van Hollen, keynote speaker, discussed the importance of using information gathered via space satellites for disaster recovery.

  7. USRA’s Dr. Assaf Anyamba was filmed by @netflix featuring his pioneering efforts to provide disease outbreak alerts resulting from climate activity. Netflix will go to http://S.Africa  to film his work in the field too.
