Finally, we must remember that prevention is always cheaper than the cure. Funding of long term resiliency and food security are absolutely essential to ensure that tragedies like this do not occur again, or are at least minimized. What are needed are long term programs that reduce the risk of future disasters, adapt to climate change, and ensure access to markets. Funding of education and protection programs will also increase resiliency. Any investments in these areas nowwith commitments to continue investing beyond the shorttermwill save lives and dollars in years to come. Governments and NGOs must work together to provide the most comprehensive response possible. International humanitarian NGOs will do our part. We look forward to working with you.
