Oral Presentation

We have all seen the graphic illustration of resilience on a two-dimensional chart, but what does resilience look like in a real community? This presentation will share field observations and recovery data following major earthquake events that disrupted the lives of millions of people (e.g., 2023 Turkey, 2015 Nepal, 2010 Haiti) and relate them to the resilience concepts our research and practice have formulated over the last decade. The presentation will also highlight ongoing initiatives for achieving resilience in California communities as well as opportunities to build upon.
