We are connecting with people and teams around the world to find out how disasters can be avoided when we put our minds to it...
We are compiling case studies to describe how disasters have been, are being and need to be avoided through a symphony of action...
We are also sharing interviews, articles and links describing actions being taken, and what more needs to be done, to avoid disasters...
Gareth is an independent consultant. He advises on urban resilience and risk & resilience in industry, and also conducts research into disaster risk.
Ilan is a professor at University College London and University of Agder, Norway, and an expert in disaster risk.
Ana is a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She focuses on air pollution, wildfires, environmental policy, and governance.
With the generous support of people around the world, we are building a Body of Work that is about action being taken, and actions required, to avoid disasters. Our Body of Work includes case studies, papers, interviews, articles, presentations and a repository of news, initiatives and information about activities being undertaken by people around the world to stop disasters from happening.
Our current case studies on disasters avoided are funded by NASA. They describe examples of how disasters have been and are being avoided, with benefits seen on a national and international level, through to the equally important individual level.

We want our work to be of interest and value. If you have any feedback about our case studies, the content on this website and/or suggestions that relate to avoiding disasters, please let us know.
We will do our best to respond.
Thank you!
