Sustainable Development as Disaster Planning: Introduction
WEB Reference, Jan. 2006 (Smart Communities Network) - Sustainable development can help prevent acts of nature from becoming disasters. Just as industries around the country are finding it smarter to prevent pollution rather than clean it or attempt to control it, disaster-prone communities are starting to embrace sustainable development as a means to remove – or at least mitigate – their conflict with the environment. There’s a bigger-picture side to this, as well. Sustainable development implies not only disaster-resistance but also resource efficiency – the prudent use of energy, water, and materials to ensure supplies for future generations. While at first glance this facet of sustainable development may seem unrelated to disaster prevention, in truth they’re intricately tied. http://www.smartcommunities.ncat.org/disaster/disintro.shtml.
