Preparedness 3.0
Capability-driven preparedness that builds generic institutional capacity for any combination of needs.
Details
Our Take
The emerging next generation: from hazard-specific (1.0) to multi-hazard (2.0) to 3.0. 'We need a very generic machine that can produce a, b and c' rather than earthquake plans that do not match earthquake reality. Captures the paradigm shift: 1.0 is having an earthquake plan; 2.0 is having a multi-hazard plan; 3.0 is having institutional capacity that can configure itself for whatever arrives. The operational translation of the culture of anticipation.
