01:08We need to make sure that we look at wealth protection, disaster reduction and climate resilience

01:17as a driver to achieving wealth creation, sustainability, and good human well-being.

01:25We are achieving the very purpose of building resilience.

01:28There were also workshops and actual simulation exercises that showed coordination between local officials, emergency response teams, and residents.

01:39These were aimed at strengthening the readiness and capability of the city to face crises such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and fires.
