Episode 70 - Prediction: The Future Holds 3 Times as Many Disasters

from Getting Through It · host Dr. Lucy Jones Center

A study found that younger people will be facing more disasters than the generations preceding them. To understand this study, Dr. Jones defines risk as the consequence of the disaster to human beings and our constructs. It is calculated by multiplying hazard by exposure by fragility. This equation shows us that to decrease our risk, we have to decrease our fragility by building our society to handle what is coming.
