Back at the UN Disaster Risk Reduction gathering

One company in New Zealand invested $6m. It saved 65m people.

I was here two years ago and a lady who heads a Japanese company was speaking about the impact of the earthquakes and tsunamis to the 2500 people of the nations (around 190 of them represented here). Today she speaks proudly to encourage the people to engage at local level, to use your core business to look for solutions and learn from new areas and disasters.

Pretty inspiring being here again especially as the attendees of last time are now on the panels calling out for new champions for such areas as disasters.
