Disasters and climate change cannot be escaped. It has now become an integral part of our lives. In the Philippines, for instance, an average of 20 typhoons enter its area of responsibility and it has become a way of life. The only way we can survive these disasters is to prevent and mitigate by reducing disaster risk through careful planning. This message was emphasized in the lectures given today by Dr. Sandy Budi Wiboro, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seca Gadaseca, and Dr. Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei.
