Thanks to everyone for the feedback from last week. Keep the articles coming!<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t think this should come as any surprise to any community built on a hillside, but it will be quite an event in a major city: Landslide Danger Looms in Next Seattle Earthquake<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not likely to be a problem in Seattle, as tech savvy a city as they come, but that is not the case worldwide: Disasters Impacting More People Who Lack Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

San Francisco wants to make disasters more social<\/a>. Another example of a city working to lead the way. <\/p>\n

Innovations don’t only happen in the United States. We can learn a thing or two from the Japanese: Yogya to develop phone-based disaster system<\/a> and Japanese model being considered for disaster management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This report, Far from home: nonprofits assess Sandy recovery and disaster preparedness<\/a>, shows that we still have a long way still to go to fully recover from Hurricane Sandy.<\/p>\n

Disaster’s Lasting Effects<\/a>, discusses contaminated water leaking from ravaged nuclear plant threatens industry in Japan. I wonder when and if this situation will be brought under control and if the overall impact to the global environment will be accurately measured. <\/p>\n

There is more and more talk about making buildings safer during earthquakes. This article points out how the building owner has shifted responsibility to the individual tenants: Board’s quake insurance strategy is recipe for disaster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And finally, a topic that surfaces sporadically in isolated efforts. Research should be a key driver for EMS everywhere. Strengthening emergency services through research.<\/a><\/p>\n
