Si può educare alla catastrofe ? La resilienza delle comunità di fronte al rischio di disastri naturali e artificiali. Cosa insegna l’esperienza del Giappone?

[Autom. eng. transl.] Disasters are destructive events that escape the control of individuals and exceed the absorption capacity of society. To investigate the process of resilience implemented by a community struck by a catastrophe, it is necessary to ask ourselves what determines the outcome. The case of the Fukushima disaster in Japan testifies to the fundamental role of culture in determining the impact a disaster has on the affected community. Starting from these assumptions, the importance of acting in a preventive perspective to educate resilient communities emerges, through the implementation of projects and training programs, aimed at strengthening the capacity of a community to face the risks deriving from catastrophic events.
