Cities from around the world have faced a dramatically changing climate in the past decade. San Francisco alone has stood against earthquakes, large storms and heavy winds in 2014 and the Rim Fire that cost the city $36 million dollars. What can we do to prepare ourselves for the furious tantrums of Mother Nature? Join us as our panelists Patrick Otellini and Laura Tam investigate what we have learned from past calamities and what other cities from around the world are doing to protect their citizens.
