About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Mengubah paradigma lama pada masyarakat, mencegah lebih baik daripada mengobati. Pencegahan dan kesiapsiagaan harus terus dikuatkan, menuju masyarakat tangguh bencana.
Good talk. When you live in a populated area with busy people it can be difficult to get people to come together . There are homeless working people who can no longer afford their rent because of hugh yearly rent increases by greedy landlords. It has become a very sad country to live. They do not care if disabled or elderly people are evicted and with no rent controls in place it has become a nightmare. I'm almost 65 with most of my family gone and am not able to work fulltime. Life has become scarey. Now we are facing the threat of a 9.2 Cascadia earthquake in the future. Unlike Japan, the Pacific Northwest has still not retrofitted buildings and bridges to withstand earthquakes or landslides. But we have quite a few bilionaires and millionaires who live here. None of whom have stepped up to help out with any of the local social concerns here.

Really love the last sentence, resilience is about you and me and the bonds that bring us together.
I'd like to see her source that supports there having been double the natural disasters in the past thirty years. The list of those disasters must be quite extensive.
This DRR need to be advocated seriously most likely the Man made one because it`s absent in an area is harming people in all extend of health, social economic and political as wel
I can't believe she mentioned climate change.. Stop lying
Industrialization, mining, ocean exploration, geoengineering, atmospheric exploration, western world greed, indoctrinating data and ridding science etal, is what requires managing.
I love this. Very informative and kept me interested the entire time, easy to understand. Thank you!
