       - Building resilient communities -- The land, water, 
       energy nexus : avoiding catastrophic failure -- Protecting
       critical sectors -- Strengthening supply chains -- Mutual 
       support through regional cooperation. 
520    "The Asia-Pacific region has been battered in recent years
       by a relentless series of shocks. Some have been related 
       to natural disasters, such as earthquakes or droughts or 
       floods. Others, such as the 2008 financial crisis, have 
       been caused by convulsions in global markets. Still others,
       such as rocketing food and energy prices, have been the 
       result of a complex combination of shocks. The traditional
       approach has been to consider such events individually. 
       This is increasingly unrealistic. Governments across the 
       region often find themselves dealing with overlapping 
       shocks that demand a more comprehensive and systemic 
       approach to building resilience. Resilience in this sense 
       means the capacity of countries to withstand, adapt to, 
       and recover from natural disasters and major economic 
       crises - so that their people can continue to lead the 
       kind of life they value. For many policymakers this is new
       territory: they are more accustomed to focusing on 
       problems in particular economic or social sectors rather 
       than treating them as systemic wholes. Even more difficult,
       they have to take decisive action now about events that 
       may or may not take place. By definition, this is a step 
       into the unknown. On the whole, human beings are not very 
       good at assessing risks and uncertainties. This report 
       provides a comprehensive response to addressing multiple 
       shocks in Asia and the Pacific. It shows how people, 
       organizations, institutions and policymakers can work 
       together to weave resilience into economic, social and 
       environmental policies." - - From UNESCAP website.
