Preparedness is the KEY

                                                                                                                                                                     This month of July is all about nutrition and preparedness, some of the activities we celebrate is National Disaster Resilience Month by virtue of Executive Order no. 29, signed on June 28, 2017. It is originally known as National Consciousness Month, it was renamed to shift from disaster awareness to building disaster resilience.

One way to reduce the impacts of the disaster on the nation and its communities is to invest in enhancing resilience. Resilience is the ability to prepare and plan for absorb  recover, from and more successfully adapt to adverse events, Enhanced resilience allows often anticipation of disasters and better planning to reduce disasters and better planning to reduce disasters losses rather than waiting for an event to occur and paying afterward.

However, building the culture and practice of disaster resilience is not simple or inexpensive Decision about how and when and invest in increasing resilience involve short and long term planning investments of time and resources prior to an event. Although the resilience of individuals and communities may be readily recognized after a disaster.
