007: Day 1 Invisible Infrastructure: How Social Capital Builds Disaster Resilience
Australian resilience expert Renae Hanvin, Founder and CEO of Resilient Ready, shares powerful insights on how “invisible infrastructure”—the social connections that bind communities—plays a crucial role in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Speaking at an international forum, she explores how social capital—the trust, networks, and coordination among people—builds true resilience beyond systems and technology. Drawing from Australia’s experiences with bushfires, floods, and droughts, Renae highlights the importance of bonding, bridging, and linking ties, and unveils a groundbreaking national framework developed with Professor Daniel Aldrich to make these invisible connections visible and valued in disaster planning.
