A disaster resilient world demands disaster resilient infrastructure: India

India has stressed on the need for nations to look beyond immediate relief and rehabilitation and focus on "build back better" after a natural catastrophe, emphasising that a "disaster resilient world" demands "disaster resilient infrastructure."
Participating at an Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) meeting on the response to Cyclone Idai, Naidu said "going forward, we need to look beyond immediate relief and rehabilitation. We need to try and see can the challenges of this disaster be transformed into an opportunity for action."
He emphasized that there has been thinking that it's important to focus on affordable Climate Resilient Infrastructure. "While we should seek to make 'build to last' becoming the norm, we should try and build back better' after this disaster."

Citing the recent devastating floods in Kerala, Naidu said the effort in the aftermath has been not simply to rehabilitate the areas devastated by floods but to build back better. ?
