This week, in the wake of the massive earthquake that struck eastern Russia – triggering a tsunami warning for coastal regions across the Pacific – we have an issue jam-packed with reports on the response, the effects, and the lessons we can take home from this event.
We also bring you other features on the risk landscape – like the threat climate change poses to renewable energy and to data centres.
Plus, we highlight some clever ways disaster risks are being tackled around the world: a combination of engineering and nature-based solutions for urban flooding in Copenhagen; India's traditional use of aromatic herbs to combat heat; and – from our DRR Voices blog – how giving women financial power is helping build climate resilience in Rwanda.

2wUndeniable proof - predicted earthquake no. 629. Confirmed - The Holgraphic Climate model published a warning 11 minutes before it happened. I encourage organizations to create an NDA project framework and collaborate on the official Climate model for trust validation. HCM predicts Earthquakes, flash flooding, and extreme weather. The source code of Global Climate and natural catastrophes has been found. Knowing how to predict allows automatically how to influence it. It is dangerous to publish or patent all details - a trusted project NDA framework is urgently needed. #HolographicClimateModel #ClimateSafety #EarthquakePrediction #ExtremeWeather #FlashFlood #ClimateAction #DisasterRiskReduction #EarlyWarningSystems #GlobalSafety #ClimateResilience #HumanRights #NaturalCatastrophes #ClimateInnovation #ClimateScience #DisasterPrevention #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateJustice #InnovationForSafety #ClimateNeuralNetworks #EmergencyPreparedness #WMO #IPCC #USGS #ECMWF #NOAA #EMSC #UNEP #WorldBank #UNDDR #RedCross #ClimateCollaboration #ScienceForHumanity https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7357036778274377730-fMrz?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAKfFo8BosY7wUMon6qYyHnUH2GGLJNTi3Q
