Participants of the Creative Society project attended Disasters EXPO USA in Miami, Florida. They had an opportunity to speak with Alex Storr, Chairman of the Disaster Recovery Authority based in the Bahamas. As a part of the delegation from the Bahamas, he attended the EXPO to find new technologies that can help in disaster mitigation and recovery.
In this interview, Alex Storr shared how devastating Hurricane Dorian was, and noted that he and his colleagues are seeing signs of a so-called superstorm. He put a strong emphasis on the fact that no matter what awaits us, we must be prepared for it.
Alex Storr believes that we need to get the message of climate change across. In his opinion, we should be persistent and we should not lose our vigilance as our world will change in the coming years. He also emphasized the importance of bringing all people together to solve the climate problem. Every small action is important: sharing information, resources, experience, etc.
