Thank you for joining the Resilience Systems within the Race to Resilience (R2R).

I am thinking that the enclosed article below would be a good article for you (Naomi) to post in the Global Resilience System (GRS), secondarily posted to the U.S. Resilience System (USRS). It is also obviously pertinent to South East Asia and the Pacific Islands.
