Resumen de Spreading resilience
Earthquakes cannot be predicted, beyond saying that where they have happened in the past, they will, someday, happen again. After April's earthquake in Nepal--and scenes reminiscent of similar events across the Alpine-Himalayan mountain belt in the past decade--it is natural to ask how people might improve resilience. Here, Densmore contends that resilience begins with individuals--be they in families, villages, districts or nations. It is spread to them through dedicated and inspirational groups raising awareness of earthquakes, teaching practical household lessons in reducing risk, and helping survivors to recover and rebuild.
