This volume examines how to build resilient communities worldwide through effective collaboration between scientists, educators, and community leaders. Grounded in ongoing scientific research and connected by international collaborations, it captures the complexities of integrating scientific research into practical emergency response and disaster preparedness policies. Building Resilient Communities Globally explores how cities around the world are tackling the biggest threats to their communities, while developing resilient populations. It focuses not only on lessons from Fukushima, but also for Fukushima and for communities worldwide. Multidisciplinary and international experts examine such questions as: What makes a community resilient? What aspects of resilience were demonstrated in the wake of the Fukushima accident? How can exposed social, economic, and physical vulnerabilities be addressed in future? They explore the impacts on communities, including physical threats and the less tangible social, health, and economic effects. They consider the opportunities provided by developing innovative technologies to enhance community resilience, while balancing such innovation with social, cultural, economic, and even political constructs and constraints. The volume also treats the challenging task of effectively communicating threats and risks to the general public and to community leaders, enabling engagement in preparation and mitigation activities, and creating the potential for rebuilding faster and stronger. Scientists, academics, educators, students, community leaders, and concerned citizen will find valuable lessons they can apply to create their own resilient communities.

"Over the past decade, resilience has gained significant traction across the nation and innovative programs are showing exciting progress in building resilient communities. For communities to be prepared for future extreme weather and climate events, as well as the chronic daily stressors, the momentum of implementing and taking action to build community resilience should continue to be fostered and expanded. Building on its many efforts dedicated to increasing and enhancing resilience, the Resilient America Roundtable hosted the State of Resilience Leadership Forum and Community Workshop on June 28 and 29, 2016. This activity brought together diverse decision makers, experts, practitioners, and community stakeholders, including representatives from academia, government, the private sector, foundations, and nonprofit organizations, to consider the results of years of investment, experimentation, and research in building resilience, take stock of these many initiatives and efforts, and share their experiences in building more resilient communities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop"--Publisher's description

2015 is a critical year for the future of sustainable development. The 2015 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction highlights the connections between disaster risk and development and shows that decades of experience in managing disasters and reducing climate and disaster risk have produced a wealth of knowledge and good practice which can be applied to achieve sustainable development. The reduction of poverty, the improvement of health and education for all, the achievement of sustainable and equitable economic growth and the protection of the health of the planet now depend on the management of disaster risks in the day-to-day decisions of governments, companies, investors, civil society organizations, households and individuals. Strengthened disaster risk reduction is essential to making development sustainable.
