Me ka ʻike ʻole a me ka ʻino o ka "maʻamau hou," pono e hoʻolālā mua nā ʻāina i kūkulu ʻia a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana ma o ka kali ʻana i nā hopena o ka hoʻomohala ʻana a i ʻole ke alo i ka piʻi ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai, e like me ka United Nations disaster mitigation secretariat.

"Ma ka UN, ʻo kā mākou makemake e hoʻololi i ka manaʻo he 'kūlohelohe' nā pōʻino a e ʻae i ka poʻe e ʻae ʻia nā pōʻino i hana ʻia e ke kanaka a pono e hoʻolālā ʻia," wahi āna. “Me ka hoʻolālā ʻana, hiki ke hoʻemi ʻia ka pā i ka wā e pā mai ai nā ʻino a i ʻole nā pilikia ʻē aʻe. Inā mākou e hoʻomau i ka mālama ʻana i nā pōʻino e like me nā hanana i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i kā mākou hana, ʻaʻohe mea e loli. A ke hoʻomau nei mākou i ka pōʻino i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. "

ʻO Ms. Wahlström ke poʻo o ka secretariat no ka UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), he papa hana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā lālā lālā ma 2000 e komo ana i nā hui he nui, nā mokuʻāina, nā hui intergovernmental a me nā hui non-government (NGOs), nā ʻoihana kālā, nā kino ʻenehana a me nā hui kīwila. .

"ʻO ke kī i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o nā pōʻino, ʻo ia ka manaʻo i nā hopena o kā mākou hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hoʻokele waiwai a me ka pilikanaka, a no ka hōʻoia ʻana e lilo nā loiloi pilikia i mea maʻamau o ka hoʻolālā. Ma hea mākou e hōʻike ai iā mākou iho i kahi pilikia pono ʻole? I nā hihia i ʻike ʻia nā pilikia, he aha ka mea e hiki ai i nā aupuni a me nā kaiāulu ke hana i mea e hoʻoikaika ai i ke kaiāulu? A pehea e hiki ai i nā kamaʻāina o kēlā me kēia lā ke kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kūpaʻa?"

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

“The key to reducing the impact of disasters is to anticipate the consequences of our economic and social development, and to ensure that risk assessments become a routine part of planning.
“At the UN, our interest is to change the view that disasters are ‘natural' and to cause people to accept that disasters are ‘man-made' and must be planned for,” she said.
So far, 159 cities have joined the campaign, and will share their experiences at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction to be hosted by UNISDR in Geneva, from 8 to 13 May.
