A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a story I’d written on the socio-cultural systems that underly natural disasters — how the way we think, and build, and think about buildings affects who dies and who doesn’t. If you’d like to dig into that a bit deeper, Andy Revkin recently pointed me toward several stories he’s written at the Dot Earth blog, about designing safety systems, buildings, and cities in ways that allow them to better stand up to the threat of a tornado.
