Lessons on resilience from a year of global earthquakes
Rapid population growth in disaster-prone regions concentrates people where recovery after extreme events is costly. Disaster and climate risks in the built environment decrease property values, increase insurance premiums, and compound recovery costs, impacting developers, financial institutions, and local governments. Investment in resilience is crucial.
Dr. Kit Miyamoto Reappointed to Seismic Safety Commission
[WASHINGTON, DC] – [MAY 22] – Miyamoto International (Miyamoto), a global engineering firm with a humanitarian focus, has launched a crowdsourcing challenge call for climate-resilient housing innovations that help low- and middle-income communities address climate hazards. The challenge is part of Miyamoto’s pledge to take bold action for climate-vulnerable communities as one of 31 companies and partners supporting the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE).
Issues Brief: An Outlook on Landslides in Indonesia
Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelagic state with over 17,500 islands and 81,000 kilometers of coastline, is renowned for its diverse geography and significant population of over 273 million. As one of the most tectonically active regions due to its location at the convergence of the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian plates, Indonesia is highly disaster-prone, facing frequent events like tsunamis, floods, and landslides. Urban development and population density exacerbate the risk of natural disasters, especially landslides, which are common in regions like Sumatera, Java, and Sulawesi. Despite the availability of hazard maps, effective disaster management remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for improved planning and education.
