Sometimes we manufacture our own negative situations because we don't pay attention to risk. We speak with Professor, Global Risk Expert and author, Robert Muir-Wood about his book 'The Cure for Catastrophe - How We Can Stop Manufacturing Natural Disasters'. We'll discuss how we create some of our own consequences with regards to natural disasters and define a true natural disaster. We'll hear about examples from around the globe how we have responded positively to disaster occurrences, yet how we still need to learn so much more from our hazard landscape. Disaster Risk Reduction is a major topic in the world right now, and this episode is sure to provide some valuable insight into how we can plan and prepare responsibly to reduce disaster impacts.
