Thank you! It's horrendous that people die when migation could save some or all of them. Truly eye opening and thought provoking.

An excellent talk, thank you! Share share share this everyone!!

this is the greatest talk I've ever heard in my life. thank you, this is so insprirational

I can't like this talk enough! She is spot on. This is why society uses science and geographic information systems (GIS) to study and map these hazards and why policy makers should use the data that scientists and geospatial professionals find to prevent these human disasters.

Bless all the communities putting that data to work but still no reason why there should be outstanding catastrophes all over the globe, when we have the technology and will power to take action now! Its greed that hurts us all. Godbless us all 🙏

I totally agree, sharing the disaster related data for the purpose of public safety.

Excellent talk. But one feels hopeless knowing how money comes before saving lives.

Prevention, prevention! Stop causing so much suffering and death.

That is a good questions

Excellent explanations to understand the natural, thank you.

How can I get in contact with her?

Damn just those two States I thought It hit many States including one that's not regarded as a state

Portland makes me want to cry, it's so simple.

Thank you

Hello .

I understand what you're trying to say, but we cannot prevent people from building their homes in dangerous locations. Just ask the residents of Pompeii... who decided to build their homes at the base of a volcano. Being enraged at natural disasters is one thing but imagine the Uproar you would get from people when you tell them no, you can't build your house there because it is too dangerous. Is Big Brother watching us now?

the severity of them. we study hurricanes even on different planets that are insane. the way our planet is tilted in gives us 4 seasons and our weather you can say is sort of regulated because of that fact. but because of climate change our weather is getting more extreme and disasters like hurricanes more frequent. so she's saying these storms aren't natural, instead they are abnormal when you take account our contributions to it

@@HiFisch94 I do agree buyers should be concious, but we can't expect an uninformed public or an apethetic public to not buy it. Instead it is far easier to punish and stop construction in the first place.

i could agree with some of the points in her lecture, but the fact that she speaks with borderline "uncontrolled" emotion is disturbing. Natural disasters are not human disasters sorry, cant agree with you on that. Theres a difference between wildfires caused by lightning, and a mass shooter incident, bombing, or 9/11.

I lost interest and any credibility for the presenter when she said climate change and natural disasters are caused by humans.

@dev0n james I'm still waiting for the killer bees who were going to kill anyone who started a lawnmower or walked their dog. Every decade has it's new hysteria. The Y2K computer issue was going to take down the grid. Wipe out our bank accounts and cripple modern life. Not even a burp of trouble. The Great Recession was going to cause the collapse of the US and civil war in the streets. Now, new records in home retail values and stock market last week along with world-beating low unemployment and productivity across all racial and financial demographics. Hysteria sells headlines and brings in government funding.

Start off by asserting that foul weather is climate change, and the rest of your credibility is shot. Had I been in the crowd I would have been screaming insults.

Well, yes! Begs the 800 pound gorilla's question of what's so special about Houston. It isn't the climate, and it isn't the topography. It isn't even the construction boom of the previous decade. Houston's real problem is its repugnance for responsible governance. Sensible regulation of development, even in su h s fragile ecosystem. There's an elaborate support system behind the Houston way of doing things , to make sure power and money have the maximum impact. Mitigation would be the fruit of a very different political system than we have in Texas. To claim the problem is a lack of mitigation is a form of intellectual dishonesty, and will not help anyone.

Because society caused your brain to associate women with child-rearing. Men speak in the same way. We just don't respond the same way because their voices are deeper, and instead of seeing them as 'busy-bodies' or school teachers, we see them as clear, confident, and self-assured. This woman is all 3 of those. Her voice just has a higher pitch.

@@ConradSpoke Of course it did. Men can raise children just as well as women. And the gestation and breastfeeding process have nothing to do with how we dole out the responsibilities of teaching and educating children. But those roles are expected to be filled by women. Sarah doesn't lack confidence- I've listened to numerous podcasts and lectures that she's participated in, and she is the picture of confidence and competence. There absolutely is inherent bias in how we react to women when they are in stereotypically male roles. Tons of studies have shown this.
