Why we do not prepare for earthquakes. A funny and illuminating TED Talk.

Posted by: admin

Steve Eberlein’s experience of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami left him grappling with this question: can a society adapt to a risk that it has never experienced before? He thinks so. His mission is to spark a preparedness movement in the Pacific Northwest that will save lives in the event of a Cascadia Subduction Zone 9M earthquake.

Steve’s analogy of “spontaneously camping” is very helpful. His humor might help all of us “normalize” preparedness. Enjoy.
