  • Resumen

  • Elizabeth speaks with Dr David Lallemant, Assistant Professor, Disaster Risk Analytics at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Head of Disaster Analytics for Society Lab. David’s background is in earthquake sciences and engineering, predictive modelling, geostatistics, and reliability analysis, all supporting research into resilient societies. He supported recovery following earthquakes in Haiti (2010), Christchurch (2011), and Nepal (2015).

    In this episode, Elizabeth and David discuss balancing both the built and social environments, risk mitigation, optimism biases, and finding hope amidst climate anxiety. They cover Black Swan events, counterfactual analysis, and how understanding what could have happened means we can celebrate important work of disaster preparedness; also how this idea led to David and his colleagues to launch the Averted Disaster Awards. They discuss the role of urgency, leadership, and even what life lessons can be learned from the classic book, The Little Prince.
