In his new book, The Edge of Disaster, renowned risk expert Dr. David Ropeik reveals the hidden dangers that threaten our nation and offers a roadmap to a more resilient future.
Ropeik argues that we are not prepared for the next big disaster. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our supply chains are vulnerable, and our emergency response systems are inadequate.
He also warns that we are facing new and emerging threats, such as climate change, cyberattacks, and pandemics. These threats are complex and interconnected, and they pose a grave danger to our nation.
But Ropeik does not just paint a picture of doom and gloom. He also offers a path forward. He argues that we can build a more resilient nation by taking the following steps:
- Investing in infrastructure
- Strengthening our supply chains
- Improving our emergency response systems
- Educating the public about risk
- Promoting cooperation and collaboration
The Edge of Disaster is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of our nation. It is a wake-up call to the dangers we face, and it offers a roadmap to a more resilient future.
