As a citizen, professional and public servant, I define my interest in participating as an advocate of the Resilient Cities Campaign mainly in two interrelated ways:

Opportunity to support the process of information, awareness, feedback and promotion of joint actions at the local level aimed at contributing to the process of disaster risk reduction and resilient communities from the reality of our country and in the competition framework of local governments.

Opportunity to be part of continuous learning, exchange of experiences - lessons learned and raise awareness of the different efforts and commitments being made by local authorities in complex territories in their disaster risk dynamics and local development.
