Disaster resilience is not just about rebuilding after a catastrophe; it's about creating systemic change that protects vulnerable communities and homeowners like Roselia long-term. Build Change's BCtap platform addresses the root causes of vulnerability, empowering communities to retrofit preventatively. By integrating technology into existing housing programs, we can facilitate the large-scale adoption of resilient solutions. How can we shift from reactive to proactive approaches in disaster resilience and create Resilient Housing Before?

We believe that by joining forces, we can make a significant impact on the lives of vulnerable communities. We're proud to work with partners like the The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Cisco Foundation, Twilio, and the Autodesk Foundation who have invested in our technology innovation and product development to scale resilience. By leveraging open-source software and industry-leading cloud solutions with their support, we're creating a powerful platform for change. And now, our local microfinance partners in the Philippines are working closely with us to embed generative AI into our technical assistance platform, BCtap. This will help us tailor the tool to the specific needs of their members as they work with us to strengthen their homes. Together, we will scale both financial and disaster resilience.

Technology is crucial in scaling our impact and reaching those hardest to reach.

?? A NATURAL disaster? No such thing. Disasters are caused by human factors, so it is in our power to reduce vulnerability, and prevent hazards from becoming disasters ?? https://ow.ly/Wl7X50Teyvb #NoNaturalDisasters

Our racial justice work in Colombia, building on years of collaboration with the government, is influencing social housing policies and programs. We're empowering Afro-Colombian communities to be creators of policy, not just recipients, through transformative partnerships with local community organizations. This community-driven approach ensures that solutions are culturally appropriate and truly address the needs of the most vulnerable. This and other examples of housing justice work are highlighted in our white paper, "Housing Justice and Disaster Resilience: Addressing the Disproportionate Impact of Disasters on the World’s Poor."

Retrofitting existing housing is a powerful tool for promoting social justice. Our research shows that strengthening a home is more affordable and environmentally sound than new construction, making it a crucial strategy in disaster-prone regions. By investing in strengthening existing structures, you can help protect vulnerable communities from displacement and loss, promoting greater equity and resilience. Retrofitting programs offer a tangible way to create both social and environmental impact. In "Housing Justice and Disaster Resilience: Addressing the Disproportionate Impact of Disasters on the World’s Poor" Ariana Karamallis explores retrofitting initiatives and highlights the focus on sustainable, locally driven solutions.
