Disasters happen in slow motion—over and over—even though we typically see them as sudden, unpredictable, and unexpected events. With a focus on coastal communities, this session explores the role of social inequity as the driver of the repetitive disaster cycle, and how post-disaster planning responses can help break the cycle.

Learning Outcomes:

Recognize the ways a disaster is a process rather than an event.
Explain the relationship between social inequity and disaster impact.
Provide examples of post-disaster planning projects that address repetitive disasters.
Recognize the difference between academic, governmental, and professional responses to resilience planning challenges.
