The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction provides a chance to recognise the achievements being made in disaster risk reduction and prevention, as well as the resulting losses in human life, fundamental infrastructure and financial impact. An effort is being made to improve public access to information about disaster risks and early warnings for hazards. The main objective is to lessen current risks and prevent the emergence of new risks. Early warning systems and readiness, however, can enable quick action to reduce the devastation to people, property, and livelihoods when risk reduction is not possible.

An early warning system must make sure that the populations that are at risk can receive the alert, comprehend it, and most importantly, act on it. It is not enough for the system to accurately identify an approaching hazard alone. Therefore, an alert system must result in an early response, which may involve fleeing the area and finding a suitable place to stay.

Today, we honour how people all over the world are lowering their risk of being affected by catastrophes and increasing awareness of disaster risk reduction.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
