#IDDR2018 #ResilienceForAll

Tomorrow we’ll be on #FacebookLive from 10:00 to 13:00 (Geneva local time) discussing how to reduce economic losses caused by disasters such as #HurricaneMichael and the #SulawesiEarthquake. We’ll hear from experts from UNCTAD, @unisdr, @ITCnews, @UNECE, @oecscommission and morepic.twitter.com/rPQ3OLznip

DISASTERS SCORECARD #IDDR2018 Can we do better? Climate disasters = 91% of 20 year total Extreme weather = 77% US$3 trillion losses; #Floods #drought #storms = 94% people affected; #Earthquakes & #tsunamis = 56% deaths; #ResilienceForAll #SendaiFramework http://bit.ly/2yC2j3R pic.twitter.com/dXEWKaSkQe

Did you know? On average, every € spent to reduce the risk of disaster saves €4-7 that would have been spent responding to them That's why over 65% of EU-funded humanitarian projects include disaster risk reduction (#DRR) activities#ResilienceForAll #IDDR2018pic.twitter.com/Cuu0RtiiFL

Curtains fall at the 7th edition of #AFARP2018. Countries from the African and the Arab region are committed to realising the #SendaiFramework for #drr. #IDDR2018 #ResilienceForAllpic.twitter.com/YLMieinZ8d

Trying to scare hurricanes away may be fun, but it doesn't actually work: enter, science! Today is the International Day for Disaster Reduction #IDDR2018. Part of what we'll do during the #Climathon is exactly that: using science to redesign cities and save livespic.twitter.com/UbZUbtREe6

If all countries were to “build back stronger” in the next 20 years, global well-being losses due to disasters would be reduced by 12%, a gain equivalent to $65 billion annually: http://wrld.bg/CPCi30mclQx  #BuildBackBetter #IDDR2018pic.twitter.com/oWH1Yq0re8

Saturday is the International Day for Disaster Reduction. Here in Indonesia, I have just seen the devastating impacts of the recent earthquake and tsunami. We urgently need to build #ResilienceforAll. https://bit.ly/2PudEKg pic.twitter.com/5pwQwDeWe9
