Moral of the disaster

Hurricanes are tropical cyclones and consist of storms with extreme winds and deluge rains. We have all heard about these extreme climate events, increasingly frequent due to climate changes, undoubtedly caused by the impact of our species on the Earth in times of the Anthropocene. Community Cooperation, a Mexican non-governmental and non-profit organization, has developed and practices in full symmetry with indigenous-peasant communities paths towards the comprehensive reconstruction and social management of the habitat. Starting from diagnoses with people in the face of disasters, a methodology emerged that, instead of being trapped in the dead end of unsuitable short-term aid, revitalizes ancestral local knowledge, strengthening it through technological innovations based on understanding and respect for the wisdom of cultural and territorial identities. The result of this collective work speaks for itself: resilience capacities reduce the vulnerability of people in rural Mexico.
