POWER OF COMMUNITIESBY ROBIN LOW
DISASTERS DON’T CREATE REFUGEES, THEY CREATE SURVIVORS.
IT IS THE CONVENTIONAL RELIEF SYSTEM THAT TURNS SURVIVORSINTO REFUGEES.
WHO ARE THE DISASTER SURVIVORS?
DISASTERS DESTROY THE PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE REMAINS
DISPLACEMENT OF LOCAL CAPACITY IN DISASTER RESPONSE
EXCLUSION OF LOCALSIN DISASTER RECOVERY
ARE SURVIVORS HELPLESS OR ARE THEY TOO STUPID TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEMSELVES?
WHO KNOWS THE GROUND BETTER? FOREIGNERS OR LOCALS?
SO WHY ARE THEY STILL TREATED LIKE REFUGEES?
IT JUST TAKES SURVIVORS TO TAKE ACTION & ACCOUNTABILITY
EVERYONE CAN PLAY A PART
NGOS AND AID WILL NOT HELP ECONOMIC RECOVERY
IS THERE STILL AID SITTING IN THE CUSTOMS?
DOES COMPLAINING GET ANYTHING DONE?
CAN EVERYONE TAKE ACTIONS AND GET STUFF DONE?
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO IT ALONE
HUMANS CAN SELF ORGANIZE.IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK
MANY OTHERS WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT, THEY MAY BE ONLINE
THE BEST TEAM IS NOT THE ONE WITH THE BEST MEMBERS, BUT THE TEAM THAT MAKES ITS MEMBERS BETTER AND ENABLES THEM TO DO MORE.
