DESCRIPTION:Imagery of post-disaster destruction often focuses on damage t
 o the built environment. Such damage is crucial to controlling casualties 
 resulting from natural hazards\, but may also have a profound psychologica
 l impact on affected communities. This session will address the role of th
 e built environment in creating disasters\, as well as methods for using i
 t to mitigate and respond to catastrophic events. \n\nQuestions addressed 
 will include:\n\n* What is the role of the built environment in preventing
  disasters?\n* What is the role of the built environment in responding to 
 and recovering from disasters?\n* How does the cultural and historical con
 text of the disaster affect the role of the built environment and of speci
 fic structures?\n* How should disaster risk reduction efforts balance dama
 ge to the built environment with other impacts?\n\n*To receive the link to
  the zoom meeting\, please join the CDRN mailing list at: https://lists.ca
