Nigg, Joanne M.2005-03-202005-03-201996http://udspace.udel.edu/handle/19716/653Good 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 a slightly new direction for these efforts, one that I believe is absolutely crucial if we truly want to provide a policy climate that is actually conducive to taking the steps necessary to achieve reduce disaster impacts on our built and social environments.662480 bytesapplication/pdfen-USnatural disasterdisaster impactOther
