How Hawaii Handles Hurricane Lane Holds Lessons for Singapore
Norman Vasu, a Senior Fellow and Coordinator of the Social Resilience Programme at RSIS, wrote in his commentary that has was fortunate as an academic studying social resilience to be in Hawaii as it escaped the devastation of a direct hit by Hurricane Lane this month. The manner in which authorities in Hawaii and its residents prepared for Lane provides many learning points for societies such as Singapore interested in developing resilience in the face of a crisis. For societies such as Singapore, being informed, preparing in advance, and working together offers much in mitigating the broad spectrum of threats modern societies face today.
