Description
Good morning. It is indeed a pleasure to be with you today to discuss a topic that has absorbed a great deal of my attention over the years--namely, how do we make our communities less vulnerable to natural disasters. my presentation today suggests

achieve reduce disaster impacts on our built and social environments.
