Resilience to Nature’s Challenges National Science Challenge, in collaboration with TTW, is excited to present, ‘He kai kei aku ringa – Disaster preparedness’. Natural hazards and climate change poses a significant threat to the well-being of whānau and communities across the motu, and the need to prepare for such events is paramount. This webinar is to provide whānau and communities with tangible and practical knowledge so they can determine for themselves how best to prepare, respond and recover. We are privileged to host Captain Ernesto Ojeda of the indigenous Tarahumara and Yaqui Nations for this webinar. With over 50 years experience in disaster preparedness and response, he is often referred to as the grandfather of urban search & rescue, having written most of the manuals and training plans for the USA, UN & many other countries including Aotearoa. He currently teaches American Indian Studies at California State University Long Beach.
