Two Echoing Green Fellows were featured on Monday in an article titled, Managing Disasters with Small Steps. The article highlights “innovative approaches to building or rebuilding infrastructure in developing countries, to help forestall disasters or, as in Haiti, recover from one."
Elizabeth Hausler, a 2004 Echoing Green Fellow and founder of Build Change, discusses her bottom-up approach to designing and implementing earthquake resistant housing that’s culturally sensitive. Pete Haas, a 2006 Echoing Green Fellow and founder of AIDG, talks about modifying their upcoming business competition to include infrastructure and earthquake-resistant housing projects.
