​Pete Spotts of the Christian Science Monitor interviewed Brian Tucker about the lessons Nepal can teach us about improving earthquake resilience in developing world.

Lucy Jones, Ph.D., a USGS seismologist based at Caltech, discusses the role of preparation in determining a community’s recovery from major earthquake: “A groundbreaking nonprofit group, Geohazards International, brings modern knowledge about natural disasters to developing countries. It began work in Kathmandu in 1997 to help people there develop better disaster management and reduction programs, retrofit their schools and develop better building codes. Despite how devastating this earthquake has clearly been, it would have been worse without the efforts of this extraordinary small group of people.”

​GHI’s Dr. Janise Rodgers provides insight on the earthquake damage in Nepal.

​In this CBC Radio interview GHI’s Brian Tucker, “explains the complex science of earthquakes and why we still can’t predict them.”

Nepal Caught Unprepared For Disasters.

​Dr. Wayne Pennington, Dean of Engineering at Michigan Tech and former President of the American Geological Institute was recently interviewed by Adrian de Novato for an article in Science Around Michigan. He mentions your GeoHazards International as one of his favorite groups working effectively on the ground in the local cultures.

​In the wake of the Nepal Earthquake, people living in other high risk areas are taking note. This article by Jamia Millia Islamia (Director, Centre for North East Studies and Policy Research) references GeoHazards International’s work in Aizawl.
