Anshu Sharma is the Co-Founder of Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society (SEEDS). In this episode, 'Understanding the Future of Disaster Resilience in Cities’, with Anshu Sharma, we explore the topic of disaster resilience and how it can be integrated in the urban ecosystem. In this episode, we start the conversation by understanding the meaning of disaster and disaster-resilience, followed by various perspectives of disaster management in the urban planning ecosystem (preparedness, plans, immediate responses & recovery, and rehabilitation). We further discuss the preparedness plan in action for cities in the north/mountains with a high risk of earthquake/floods, so that people are prepared in advance for such disasters. He also helps us better understand, how the services like the fire stations, police stations, hospitals can deal with such disasters and how their capacity needs to be developed. Further, he explains the role of technology in facilitating and the kind of technological interventions that are coming up to help in disaster management activities. At last, he helps us understand the skillsets required to develop a solution for this, also looking at the aspect of technology.
