Rockefeller Foundation Resilience workshop

26/3/2014

 
Thank you all for agreeing to give up a whole day to be part of laying the groundwork for re-defining the future of our city.

We couldn't invite everyone who wanted to come today, so each of us has a responsibility to
contribute 150%. I don't want anyone feeling jealous that you got to come to this workshop

Our Changing Environment, CCC community forum on living with natural hazards

16/3/2014

 
The subject of today's forum is the challenge of living with natural hazards and the risks that they pose for us as a city.
 
I don't need to tell anyone here that life is full of risks. But are we aware of them? Do we calculate probability and consequence each time we climb into our car or jump on a plane?
