Empower local communities with training, drills, and shelters. construction of buildings, roads and grids that would withstand natural forces. These are how we can be resilient to disasters.

    Resilience can also be closer to be attained through improved healthcare. Healthcare quality should also be ensured for all citizens, regardless of status.
