'Why are we so unprepared after every disaster? Our reaction is more surprise than readinessBad construction can worsen the crisis. Survivors and wellmeaning volunteers need experts to guide them toward safe, long-term, locally appropriate solutions. In the future we must do much, much more with much, much less. The lessons in this book move us well toward that important goal' - Bryan Bell, Founder, Design Corps
