【Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action】
Nowadays the world faces many challenges that are transnational in nature. Building upon the robust U.S.-Taiwan cooperation in the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) space, AIT’s “Partners in HADR: Awareness – Resilience – Action” campaign aims to raise public awareness and support activities that foster personal and community resilience within and beyond Taiwan.
AIT has partnered with the Forward Alliance, the Taiwan Emergency Medicine Association, the Taiwan Society of Paramedicine, and the National Association for Firefighters’ rights in hosting a one-day resilience workshop on emergency response and public safety in downtown Taipei. Speaking to a group of 120 workshop participants, AIT Deputy Director Raymond Greene emphasized the importance of communities fostering a sense of resilience. He described his own personal observations of the 2011 triple disaster in Japan and how its people demonstrated resilience to overcome adversity. He also shared information about AIT and Taiwan’s partnership in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and how members of a society can build the skills and spirit to respond to both natural and man-made crises.
