Guest Quote
“I truly believe that really good things can happen out of global cooperation. And if you think about it all the way up to climate change and our ability to have an impact, that's global cooperation because we can't do it alone. So I do see the Alliance as a bit of a small replica of what can be successful when you work together as teams across countries, cultures, and languages.”

Guest Quotes
“I think the huge growth there is how can we be ready for the next events? What were the lessons from what we've experienced, and how can we more efficiently respond to the future events, which we know are coming? Because they're going to be getting more frequent.” - Jon Rix
“The knowledge of the local people and conducting interviews, for example, in a case of a flooding event, sometimes oral information is really important. Information by a local inhabitant of a municipality about perhaps the former drainage channel can be as valuable or even more valuable as any kind of planning information.” - Andreas Deckelmann
“Well, I think no matter how insensitive people can be, if they don't feel something after what happened in the region, well, I'm sorry, but they have no heart. Because it had such a big impact on me. To this day, I still have nightmares about it.” - Agenor Freitas
