Disaster and climate risks keep increasing globally. On top of that, humans, the contributors to the risks are not static. Globalization, migration, and mobility shape the demographic change, creating more culturally diverse cities. In countries that are exposed to various disaster risks, such as Indonesia and Japan, programs aiming at building community resilience continue to be developed by various institutions. The question is, whose resilience is being built? How should we take into account social differences in building community resilience? Does culture matter? In this Wednesday Forum, we will discuss various possible issues that emerge within a culturally diverse population in Indonesia when facing disaster situations. A participatory risk communication tool will be used during our discussion to make it a little more fun.
