Can we build disaster resilient communities? | Gregory Kopp | TEDxWesternU

Ойын-сауық

Gregory Kopp, a Canada Research Chair, shares stories of storm chasing and the results of his ongoing research on how to build disaster-resilient communities.
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)

    Yes We Can, but not by increasing nail lengths or by tie-downs, that is small thinking and we expect more from experts. Why is it so hard to Make it Simple STUPID? Why?

    G Hawirko You're not the expert, if you listened properly, you would know that that is exactly what will make a difference

    It may not sound like much, but those simple solutions can make a big difference. Take the nail for example. Increasing it's size by a bit can help a house withstand 2 times the power or something. So really you should feel happy. They are simple and effective solutions.
