Built to Last? (2018)

Around the world, disasters are on the increase. In the past ten years earthquakes, heat waves, floods, hurricanes, fires and volcanoes have killed over a million people, affected another 2 billion and caused 4.5 trillion dollars in damage. Our homes are where we look for shelter, but when a disaster strikes, we're on the front line. If you think your house is safe - think again. This documentary takes you to locations in the US, UK and Philippines to show what family like you are going to make their homes less vulnerable to natural hazards. If you're waiting for government, you may be too late. Inspired by the book 'Resilience - The Ultimate Sustainability'.
