Mitigación de riesgos define el rumbo para fortalecer la resiliencia

Antes de que las aguas empezaron a retroceder y los vientos cesaron en 2017, una frase se destacó sobre toda otra para simbolizar la recuperación – “VI Fuerte.” Esta expresión no solamente refleja el espíritu de los residentes de las Islas Vírgenes, sino también capta las labores de recuperación durante los últimos cinco años. Construir “VI Fuerte” significa que se usan recursos no solamente para reconstruir lo que se perdió, pero que también se reconstruye de manera más fuerte y más resiliente para proteger contra desastres futuros.
