Day 5 July 11 - Let's Prepare For A New Climate



After viewing the video answer the questions below thoughtfully and in detail.
1. How is the topic of this talk different than the others you have viewed so far?

2. When most people think of the consequences of natural disasters and climate change their first thoughts are about loss of property and loss of life.  What other “distributional consequences” does Ms. Arroyo shed light on?

3. Identify 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods?  Why have they been successful?

4. According to Ms. Arroyo why is understanding and adapting to the “human element” even more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disasters?

5.  How did Congress adapt to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina?

6. Identify 2 examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought? Why have they been successful?

7. Identify 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to rising seas? Why have they been successful?

8. According to Ms. Arroyo what legal and policy changes are available to help prepare for a new climate?

9. Why do you think most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo? Explain.

10. To what extent do you agree with Ms. Arroyo that when it comes to the issue of climate change we can no longer “rely on the past and established norms” to guide our planning? Explain using specific evidence from the talk.

11. How can this talk help you for when you receive your assigned geographic feature on which your “future city” will be built?

  1. 1.The topic of this talk is different because instead of talking about how bad the neighborhood and how we have to change things ms aroys is telling us that we should create things in place to prevent disasters before they occur.
    2.Ms arroys talks about the economic impact disasters have and how we can help
    3.some examples of how cities can adapt better is when new orleans built there water wall 21 feet higher also the first energy star church with solar panels ect,
    4.The human element is even more immportant because we can save energy and reduce strom water runnoff by changing our roof tops.
    5.Congress adapted to the human element by allowing pets to evacuate the house as well with their families
    6.some cities have prepared for the heat drought by planting roof top terraces to save energy
    7.Some cities who have adapted to rising seas is Francisco by creating water and surge treatment , they also raise buildings and sea walls,.
    8.legal and policy changes that are available to prepare is ecosystem strengthening
    9.Most new yorkers arent used to climate change and we arent used to natural disasters. unfortunately many people take advantage of the fact that we are usually disaster free and when the storms come no one takes them seriously.
    10.Ms arroyo is saying we cant rely on the past and establish norms because our climate is constantly changing,who would have expected sandy.
    11.this talk showed me to build my city strong incase of any natural disaster and prepare for anything for example building my homes high and my sea walls extra high

  2. 1.This topic of this talk is different because Ms. Aroys tells us that us as union should create things in place to stop disasters before it comes to destroy. 2.Ms. Aroys gives explanation about economic impact disasters and how we can help. 3.2 examples of how cities can adapt is when when new orleans created a water wall 21 feet and the first energy star church with solar panels. 4.Human element is important because we can build a brick house that is natural disaster proof . 5.Congress adapted to the human element by giving the people the right to allow their pets to evacuate the house as well with their families. 6.Some cities planted roof top terraces to save energy to protect themselves from the heat drought. 7.Some cities like Francisco have adapted to rising seas by creating water and surge treatment, and raise buildings and sea walls. 8.Legal and policy changes is to prepare ecosystem strengthening. 9.Some new yorkers dont feel climate change and some of us never witness a natural disaster. People don't realize that new york can get a natural disaster anytime depending on climate change but when its time for a natural disaster to strike nobody cares and think its a joke but if it hit them it wouldn't be so funny. 10.Ms Arroyo is saying our climate is changing over time. 11.This talk teaches me to make my city a sturdy and strong place by making my buildings real high to protect my city from any natural disaster that can destroy.

  3. This topic talks about the place that his alot if disaters like natural disaters

    Ms.Aroyo provides alot of informations talks about the economic impact disaters

    Some few examples is that ho they could water under 21 feet and the first energy solar planets, panels

    Human elements that we could built houses that got destroyed from the natural disaters

    Congress is the human elements that is making people and their families evacuate leaving their homes

    Some citis like to save energy to have been protected

    Some cities like san Francisco has been creating water by the seas

    That the policies was giving to change the legal policies about that

    The climate change is changing the natural disaters that was the storm that was coming

    Ms. Arroyo is taking the climate that is changing that was the past changes like hurricanes and Tsunami

    This talk helped me to create a good city to make a better place to not have any disaters a natural disaters that could not ruined my city but also having it would be destroy . My city would be protected by my buildings and the things that i protect there surrounded by there

  4. 1.) This video is different from the other vidoes because it talks about the city it self like in general

    2). She talks about how the natural weathers can destroy the city population.

    3.) Some storms are hurricane,rain,and tsunami.and its successful because the people of New York can help the storms from hitting the city.

    4.) it's important because they wanted the people to be safe.

    5). It adapt to the city because it destroyed buildings cars and technology

    6). city put roof shade from blocking heat and sunlight.

    7). they builded the city more higher so that the water won't reach the suface of the land.

    8)the legal policey changes was perpare for the ecosytem


    9). the people are attracted to the storm because they are afraid that it's going to hit them

    10). I think the climate to New York City should be overprotected by building more roofs.

    11). this will help me to creat my city by building improvements for my city and grading landforms so that water won't be able to flow over the land into to my city

  5. 1) This topic because it talks about how many natural disters hit that area and how to stop it.

    2). Ms. Arroyo provides information on the economic disters and she talk about how it Chang the population.

    3). Some examples are when New Orleans created a wall 21 feet to block the water and the had solor panels in had a energy star church

    4). The human elements is important because we can build better house to stay strong from nature disters or make more engry houses.

    5). Congress adapt to the human elements because the let people evacuate there houses and there pets and cars and leavening they homes.

    6). Some cities had roof energy savers to porcted them from the heat drout and the sun light and they had panels.

    7). Some cities adapt to the risking sea building big 21 feet walls and building taller buildings.

    8). The legal policy Chang is to prepare the ecosystem and strengthening and to have a better climate for the people.

    9). Some people in New York not use to the climate Chang because New York State don't have much nature disters

    10) Ms arroy is saying that our climate is Chang over time in we can expect a nature disters any time so be perpard.

    11) This talk can help me because I can build my buildings in my city stronger and us 21 feet walls and energy savers.

  6. This topic is different from the others talks that I've previously done,because unlike the other TED talks Ms.arroyo talks about how to change things by creating them,to prevent disasters. She also talks about the economic impact that a disaster causes. How can a city spat better? Well, When New Orleans created a water wall which was 21 feet tall.
    The human element is more important because we save energy and change our roof tops to runoff storm water
    Congress adapted to the human element by allowing both the families and pets evacuate their homes.
    By planting roof top terraces to save energy.
    Francisco adapted to rising seas by creating water and surge treatment.
    Legal and policy changes available to help prepare for a new climate are ecosystem strengthening.
    Most New Yorkers don't realize how.vulnerable we are to climate change because natural disasters are not a norms for us.
    Ms. Arroyo states that our climate changes over time.
    This talk can help me build my city by giving me helpful information which made me think to build the buildings in my city as high as possible.

  7. 1.) This is different because this topic is kinda different from the other ones. This topic is mostly about how if the sea level rises, people should build higher and build at least 21 ft above ground. They should leave that much space so of water does come it will just pass through and won't really damage or destroy your home.
    2.) Ms.Aroys was talking about how the economy gets affected. If your property gets destroyed or damaged, you're going to tell the insurance to fix it, even tho they might cover all the damages they will try. Same thing will loss of lives. You will tell the life insurance agents to cove for all the medical and other expenses.
    3.) One example is church star. It got it's energy from solar panels. It was the first energy star. Another example is when New Orleans built their water wall. It was 21 ft. higher from the ground.
    4.) Human needs are more important because if you build a house and it gets destroyed because of a natural disaster, you might or might not get that house back. But if you loose a person's life, you will never get that back. That is why the reason you should care more about humans. We build homes but they get destroyed by the natural disaster.
    5.) It is the government that is giving them a warning and is trying to tell all families to leave their homes, before the hurricane comes.
    6.) Some people installed solar roofs. That saves them energy and saves them from the heat and drought. This was successful because some others planted roof tops. It's the same idea, it saves you energy.
    7.) One example is that they rose the buildings and sea walls 21 ft. from the ground. Another example is that 0they had water and surge treatment.
    8.) One is to raise all buildings and sea levels 21 ft. from ground. Another thing is that their economic system should become more valuable. They should all strengthen themselves. They should all get involved.
    9.) We haven't learned our lesson because we know that we barely get any natural disasters. We are not used to natural disasters. And when they do come no one is really serious due to the fact that we barely have them. No one really cares until it gets them hard.
    10.) We can't tell exactly the future, we can't rely on the past. We don't know what time what's going to happen because climate is changing non stop, due to pollution and etc.
    11.) This TED talk can help me with my final project by letting me know that I should build my homes, buildings, sea walls and etc. 21 ft. higher than the ground because you never know when a natural disaster is going to come or a flood. So if water does come it will just pass through and will save some dangers from happening.

    1. Because this specific Ted Talk is more about Climate change , our environment , natural disasters , and overall people and/or the population.
    2. Ms.Arroyo stated that the elderly and the female headed-households were the most vulnerable.
    3. 1 example is that in New Orleans the I-10 twin spans had sections that were knocked out , but they rebuilt them 21 feet higher & another example is that Ms.Arroyo's mothers Church was rebuilt higher and it became the first energy star in this country.
    4. Because the "human element" is even more critical when it comes to needs like a better planning and systems for evacuation & we need to better understand how people make decisions in times of crisis.
    5. Congress passed the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act.
    6. 1 example is that they created cool white or green vegetated roofs and another example is that they also started to plant trees. It was successful because I guess that everybody started to follow their ideas.
    7. 1 example is that in San Francisco they built surge treatment and by building higher buildings.
    8. The Legal Policy changes were to prepare the ecosystem.
    9. Probably Because New York is not expecting anything really big like that compared to other states.
    10. I fully agree with her because we as people have to sometimes stop relying on the government to make changes, when we could just start working together as a community , just like when she said "I think these are inspiring examples of what's possible when we feel empowered to plan for a world that will be different."
    11. I guess it can help by making the city green and being careful where you place certain houses and buildings in your city also.

    10. I agree with her because we have to stop relying on the government
    11.it can help me with my final project because it could help me make a better city by making it greener.

  10. 1- This talk is different because unlike others it doesnt say to build gardens or bike lanes. It addresses what happens to cities after natural disasters and how to protect the cities and people from them.

    2- Other distributional consequences are adapting to new lands the people will have to move to.

    3- some cities are making their buildings, some are also making solar power buildings.

    4- Under standing human element is more important because no matter what some people wont leave whats important to them like their pets.

    5- After hurricane katrina congress passed a bill that will let people bring their pets while evacuating.

    6- they preserve natural resources by building terraces and some foundations are providing insurance.

    7- some places are installing backflow prevention which means they are rebuilding the pipes to block off sea water that will flood the pipes, also places like the uk have built temp barriers.

    8-the legal policies are to strengthen the ecosystem

    9- Most new yorkers dont reallize how vulnerable we are to storms is because they believe nothing that dramatic could happen to nyc. Also since we do not see most of the water people forget we are on a island.

    10- we can no longer rely on the past to help us prevent natural disaster because our climate has changed.

    11-This talk shows me that for my city I should out important places near the sea to prevent flooding also to make buildings more stable to prenvt getting destroyed

  11. 1 - the topic is different because it doesnt really talk about rebuilding a certain part of a city , it talks about how to plan for natural disasters

    2 - the other distributional consequences are adapting to new land.

    3 - one example is solar power , another is the twin span. They been sucessful because the buildings were built higher than the buildings before

    4 - because most buildings like houses are replaceable but the people arent and we need people to make more buildings.

    5 - because congress were giving people the right to leave with their pet(s).

    6 - one example is people made solar roofs for their houses. Another example is the terraces.

    7 - one is the backflow and another is they built sea walla 21 ft. High . These were sucessful because most buildings were not destroyed from the natural disaster.

    8 - what helps prepare for a new climate was to make the ecosystem stronger than how it was.

    9 - i think because maybe people dont really think its going to happen until weather starts to change on them.

    10 - i agree because at times we have to stop depending on the government and look to see for ourselves what is happening.

    11 - so that when we get our feature we can know what to add before we add it to our project.

  12. 1)> this talk talks about how instead of our cities need changing or in need of changing but how the rising climate of locations are affecting us.

    2)>that how it can affect the population and the impact of these disasters they have on the economic value of the land.

    3)>they built more sturdy buildings and built walls from the storm surging water that could make things collapse.

    4)>that how we as human deal with these disasters after they have happened and how to we come back from it.

    5)>that they had a bill which made it made a plan for its residents to have an evacuation plan.

    6)>chicago had a ice truck in to bring people , and they had solar panels to transform the energy into electricity.

    7)>they built structures much higher to be prevented from being swept away, they built walls higher on the high ways to stop any water from flooding the passway.

    8)>they passed legal policies for a way for people to be conciseness of the area that they live in and its climate rate.

    9)>they think that they are safe because rarely do we get storms and hurricanes that cause destruction in the state.

    10)>disagree. that not rely on the past would just be setting up for future failures cause if you don't know what to do if a bug hurricane come your way and all you do is stay in your home or just flee to safe area how will the cities grow to be more sustainable building that could handle the storms without dat how will people know what to prepare for .

    11)>that be aware of the temperatures of that area and see what kind of structures can be built there for long lasting sustainability.

  13. 1. The topic of this TED talk is different from the others because this talk discussed how natural disasters can affect cities and how we can adapt to the natural disasters. While the other talks discussed how we can alter the cities that we live in through transportation and agriculture.

    2. Aside from loss of life and property in natural disasters and climate change, Ms. Arroyo sheds light on other distributional consequences such as the economy and insurance for injuries and home destruction. In addition, people have scarce resources after a natural disaster according to Ms. Arroyo.

    3. Cities have adapt to violent storms and floods because they have built higher highways such as the twin spans in New Orleans that have been built 21 feet higher. Another way cities adapt is through building "raise energy efficient buildings". These buildings are built to go against hard hitting storms and they sell electricity back to grids thanks to solar panels.

    4. According to Ms. Arroyo understanding and adapting to the human element is important because we need better planning and evacuation systems. Some people did not have access to transportation during Hurricane Katrina without plan to evacuate, so we need to plan ahead.

    5. The Congress adapted to the "Human Element" because they passed the Pet Evacuation and Transportation standards act or P.E.T. and gave people the right to get out of the storm as well as bring there pets with them.

    6. Cities prepared for heat and drought by building Cooling Systems in Chicago to fight back against the heat. They also created vegetative green roofs to go against droughts. They have been successful because they preserve water and reduce runoff save energy.

    7. Cities adapt to sea level rising by creating Protection Zones like in the UK. They used temp-barriers to protect London from storm surges. In Asia, cities climate resilient networks restore mangrove growth through Conservation Zones.

    8. The legal policy changes are to strengthen the ecosystem and making the economy even more richer and valuable. They also want to be more prepared for the natural disasters that may come in the future.

    9. I don't think that we New Yorkers realize how vulnerable we are because even after Super Storm Sandy and Nemo, I don't believe that a majority of New York have prepared to go against another storm that may come. Although centers have repaired homes, they have not progressed towards "Human Elements" as Ms. Arroyo said.

    10. I agree with Ms. Arroyo about how we can't rely on past norms, because what has worked in the past may not work later on during planning for something else.

    11. This talk we show me that not only should I prepare for environmental problems that come between the shelters and agriculture, but as well as the natural disasters that may occur.

  14. 1- This Ted talks about how instead of our cities needs changing in the city but this how the climate of locations are affecting us and it needs to stop the change of the climate.

    2- It can affect the population and the impact of these natural disasters they have on the economic value of the land.

    3- They have built more determined buildings and built walls from the storms water that could make things crash.

    4- The human element is most needed because we have to build better houses more safer.
    5- They have made a plan for its residents to have an evacuation plan and the bill that got passed people would get provided with insurance.

    6- They had solar panels to transform the energy into electricity and they had got protected.

    7- They will built structures much high so that the storms goes away and there will be no flood if that buildings walls are higher and built high walls so the water will be stop and have no floods.

    8- they passed legal policies for a way for people and the legal policy changes were to prepare the ecosystem.
    9- They think that they are safe because they don't get that much of storms and hurricanes that is because destruction in the state.

    10- Ms. Arroy is telling us about the climate change over time and we have the natural disaster and we should be ready well prepared for it.
    11- This ted talks that be ready for the climate change of that area and we have to build structures more safer and stronger and well protective.

  15. 1) the topic of this talk was different than the others because in the past presentations they talked about how we need to create more space and live smaller. In this talk Ms. Arroyo talks about being safe from natural disasters.
    2) natural disasters cause a lot of problems. And as ms. Arroyo said, they cause economic and social problems supplies are cut short and affected areas take long ti recover.
    3) humans have adapted to natural disasters in many ways. The twin spans is a great example of that battling floods and strong winds. More support added to the infrastructure of buildings have made them almost uncolapseable.
    4) understanding and adapting to all enviroments is important because of we aren't properly prepared for certain natural disasters everything can be destroyed. Homes,workplaces,goods and lives.
    5) the P. E. T act allows people to evacuate their home with their pets. The congress passing this act makes people feel more at home when they have their family companion with them in hard times.
    6) cities such as Chicago have created building cooling systems to fight major heat and drought. They have also started using green roofs. A green roof is a roof of a building which grows a variety of plant life.
    7) cities in Europe have adapted to rizing sea levels. The biggest example is Britain. They have devised a temporary barrior that acts like a shield to protect London from high waves.
    8) the purpose of these legal policy changes are to ensure the prosperity and safety of the people and to prepare for any up coming disasters with the means to protect and combat the disasters.
    9) we new yorkers are certainly not prepared for any type of natural disasters. This is because of our geographical position. Nothing comes to new York and when it does we get it when the state of the disaster is weak. We need to prepare because 2 years ago while I was in Manhattan there was a slitght tremur that shook new York and everyone was scared. Sooner or later if we aren't prepared a stronger tremur can hit and cause a disoray.
    10) I agree with ms. Arroyo. Storms constantly change some are weaker than others. Directions will change speed will change. All of these variables can hurt our future plans to combat natural disasters.
    11) this talk will help me do my best to design my city to be a flexible city one that can combat almost any natural disaster.

  16. 1. This topic is different from the others because this talk discusses natural disasters while the others spoke about fixing the cities we live in.
    2.Ms.Arroyo sheds light on more distributional consequences such as economy and insurance for injuries, people have scarce resources after a natural disaster.
    3. Cities adapted to violent storms and floods by building higher highways like the twin spans and by making "raise energy efficient" buildings to go against hard hitting storms
    4. Understanding and adapting to the human element is more important because we need better evacuation systems and planning, some people couldn't get access to transportation during hurricane Katrina
    5. Congress adapted to the "human element" by them passing the P.E.T evacuation and transportation standards act , giving people the right to get out the storm with their pets
    6. Cities prepared for heat and drought by building cooling systems in Chicago and creating vegetative green roofs for droughts which were successful because it reduced runoff and saved energy
    7. Cities adapted to rising seas by creating protection zones and by building walls higher on the high ways, it was successful because it stopped floods on the pass way
    8. The legal policy help strengthen the ecosystem and making the economy more valuable , also making them more prepared
    9. New Yorkers don't realize because we haven't prepared to against another storm if another was to come, we haven't progressed to "human elements" like Ms.Arroyo said
    10. I agree with Ms.Arroyo that we can't rely on past storms, because what worked in the past might not be able to work again planning for something else
    11. This talk shows me that I should prepare for any problems that may occur in my city

  17. 1- The topic of this talk is different than the others I have viewed so far because Mrs. Arroyo tells us that we should create things in place to stop the disasters, before it happens.
    2- The other “distributional consequences” that Ms. Arroyo sheds a light on are the natural economic disasters and how the population has changed.
    3- 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods are New Orleans building their water wall 21 feet high to keep the water away and Ms. Arroyo's mothers Church being rebuilt higher becoming the first energy star because it got it's power from the solar panels.
    4- According to Ms. Arroyo understanding and adapting to the “human element” is more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disasters because we can save energy and change our roof tops if a natural disaster ever occurs.
    5- The congress adapted to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by letting people and their pets evacuate their own homes.
    6- 2 examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought are by applying cooling systems to protect them from the heat and drought and by building terraces to protect natural resources.
    7- 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to rising seas was by making the sea walls higher and by creating a surge water treatment. These have been successful because the high walls prevented anything form being destroyed and the surge water treatment prevented the water from being dirty, it made the water be more filtered.
    8- The legal and policy changes that are available to help prepare for a new climate is to prepare and strengthen the ecosystem for when the natural disasters happen.
    9- I think most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo because the people think that a storm is not going to strike at them since it rarely happens, but when they start to see changes in the weather occurring and when it actually strikes at them they start taking more precautions.
    10- I agree with Ms. Arroyo when she says it comes to the issue of climate change where we can no longer “rely on the past and established norms” because our climate is constantly changing overtime and developing into a new one.
    11- This talk can help me because it tells how to protect yourself from a natural disaster that can occur, it shows me where to build high walls and shows me how to make my city more stable to prevent any damages from happening.

  18. 1) This TED video differs from all the other ones. This one is explaining the affects of the climate and if we're not prepared for natural disasters our city could crumble.
    2) Natural disasters cause a loss of life, injury , and a loss of property.
    3) Many cities have adapted to natural disasters some cities have built energy efficient buildings that use the solar panels to absorb energy then they sell back that energy to grids. Also, people have built stronger and higher buildings, highways, and bridges.
    4) Arroyo understands nature and she understands that we can't control it, so all we can do is alter our lives to be able to live with natural disasters. One example is during hurricanes people have no transportation to evacuate, so we can figure something out for the future.
    5) The congress showed people that they're helping and understanding the "human element" when they passed the P.E.T., Pet Evacuation and Transportation, which gave people able to evacuate their homes with their pets.
    6) Cities have really been trying to adapt to the changing climate. One example is the building of gardens and green houses on top of buildings and another example is the cooling system cities such as Chicago have built.
    7) All around the world sea level has been rising so in order to be ready cities have built zones of protection, where there are barriers to protect cities from storms and floods.
    8) The legal policy changed because cities and the government want the ecosystem to be stronger for when natural disasters do occur we'll be ready.
    9) I think New Yorkers are so vulnerable and naive thinking that a storm can't strike us at any moment. So we are not fully ready for storms and natural disasters, such as Storm Sandy we knew about it but we didn't think it would be as bad as it was. People in Long Island and across the coast got the worst effects of the storm.
    10) I agree with Arroyo because the climate keeps changing over time and we can't rely on the past and established norms, which is basically the old precautions.
    11) This talk reminded me of a very important aspect when it comes to building a city, which is the climate. Humans have no control over nature so all we can do in cities is just adapt and try to live one with nature.

  19. 1. The topic of this talk is different than the others that we have viewed so far because this ted talk talks about the climate and the other ted talks talk about the environment.
    2. The other distributional consequences that Ms. Arroyo sheds a light on are loss of life and property and how the population has changed.
    3. 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods was builing a large tall wall to keep the flood away and also Ms. Arroyo's mothers Church being the highest building which got its energy from the solar panels.
    4. According to Ms. Arroyo understanding and adapting to the “human element” even more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disasters we can save energy and we also we have to build better houses to be more safer.
    5. Congress adapted to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by
    making people leave their homes to a safer place and they passed a bill that would let people get insurance.
    6. 2 examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought was by making cooling systems to protect them from the heat and drought and making green roofs that grows a a lot of plant life.
    7. They built walls higher on the high ways to stop any water from flooding the roadways sea levels has been rising all over the world that's why government made some protected areas for people to go to when floods happen.
    8. The legal policy changed because cities and the government want the ecosystem to be stronger for when natural disasters do occur.
    9. They think that they are safe because they don't get that much of storms and hurricanes that is because destruction in the state new Yorkers had never experienced severe storms so they don't know how to perform safety evacuations.
    10. I agree with Arroyo because the climate keeps changing and we will never know what to expect from the next storm.
    11. This talk can help me because it tells how important climate is to an environment and how climate can also be a warning to how bad a storm ids going to be.

  20. 1. This topic is different from the other ted talks I have viewed so far because the other ted talks have showed us how to make a better environment because the environment are destroyed and they wanna fix it. But this ted talk is telling us how to built stuff to prevent the disasters.
    2. Ms. Arroyo shed light on the economic disasters and what could happen to the population, people won't get use to there new homes and insurance for injuries.
    3. Two examples of some cities that have adapted to violent storms and floods are that they have built more stable buildings for example rise energy efficient these buildings are built to go against hard storms another thing they have built are higher highways
    4. According to Ms. Arroyo understanding and adapting to the human element are more important than adapting infrastructure because we need to save energy, and because we need to plan ahead before anything happens and not regret it later. For example during hurricane Katrina people couldn't get out cause there wasn't no transportation, there was millions that died.
    5 . The congress adapted to the "Human Element " after hurricane Katrina because they will let people go with there pets while evacuating.
    6. Two examples of how some cities that have prepared for heat and drought are creating green roofs another example is building terrace to protect natural resource they were successful because they saved natural resource and saved energy.
    7. Two examples of how cities have adapted to rising sea are building higher buildings and they built sea walls. They were successful because the water would be stopped and they floods wouldn't go in the cities.
    8. The legal policy changes are that they wanna plan before any natural disasters comes and destroys the city and for the people to be ready before anything happens or they regret.
    9. Most New Yorkers don't realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like super storm sandy and nemo because New Yorkers aren't used to natural disasters and they think they are safe but when a natural disasters they don't mind about it and they don't take it serious.
    10. Ms. Arroyo said that climate is changing over time and I agree with her cause the climate changes day by days and we don't know what gonna happen for example super strong sandy hit hard and another storm could come harder but we never know.
    11. This ted talk could help built my city in the future cause I could build sea walls and build thing to protect my city before any city disasters happen to my city and I'll be prepared before anything instead of regretting it later.

  21. 1) This TED video differs from all the other ones. This one is explaining the affects of the climate and if we're not prepared for natural disasters our city could crumble.
    2) Natural disasters cause a loss of life, injury , and a loss of property.
    3) Many cities have adapted to natural disasters some cities have built energy efficient buildings that use the solar panels to absorb energy then they sell back that energy to grids. Also, people have built stronger and higher buildings, highways, and bridges.
    4) Arroyo understands nature and she understands that we have no way to control it, so all we can do is alter our lives to be able to live with natural disasters. One example is during hurricanes people have no type of transportation to evacuate in case of major damages to there houses, so we can figure something out for the future.
    5) The congress showed people that they're helping and understanding the "human element" when they passed the P.E.T., Pet Evacuation and Transportation, which gave people able to evacuate their homes with their pets.
    6) Cities have really been trying to adapt to the changing climate. One example is the building of gardens and green houses on top of buildings and another example is the cooling system cities such as Chicago have built.
    7) All around the world sea level has been rising so in order to be ready cities have built zones of protection, where there are barriers to protect cities from storms and floods.
    8) The legal policy changed because cities and the government want the ecosystem to be stronger for when natural disasters do occur we'll be ready.
    9) I think New Yorkers are so vulnerable and naive thinking that a storm can't strike us at any moment. So we are not fully ready for storms and natural disasters, such as Storm Sandy we knew about it but we didn't think it would be as bad as it was. People in Long Island and across the coast got the worst effects of the storm.
    10) I agree with Arroyo because the climate keeps changing over time and we can't rely on the past and established norms, which is basically the old precautions.
    11) This talk reminded me of a very important aspect when it comes to building a city, which is the climate. Humans have no control over nature so all we can do in cities is just adapt and try to live one with nature.

  22. 1. The topic of this talk is more about climate change and how we can become more prepared for disaster while increasing our efforts in preventing it, as well. The past few topics have been more about making cities more environmentally friendly and sustainable for residents.
    2. Other distributional consequences of natural disaster and climate changes that Ms. Arryo sheds light on are residents being forced to leave their pets behind during a disaster or stay behind. Another disasters leading residents to immigrate causing tension and competition over limited resources. The insurance industry is also struggling to deal with the many losses from extreme weather events.
    3. One example of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods is the Twins Spans in New Orleans being rebuilt 21 feet higher to allow for greater storm surge. This should be successful in preventing some damage if there is another storm. Another example of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods is the raised and energy efficient homes that have been created for the ninth ward. These homes should be better able to resist storms. They have been successful, because they are good ways to lessen damage overall in the event of a storm.
    4. According to Ms. Arryo understanding and adapting to the human element is even more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disasters, because we need to understand how people make decisions during a disaster so that evacuation plans may be improved.
    5. Congress adapted to the human element after Hurricane Katrina by passing the PETS act in 2006. The PETS act is the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act. This way residents no longer have to choose to stay behind with their pets during a disaster.
    6. One example of how cities have prepared for heat and drought is finding other ways for farmers to conserve water. Another example is providing farmers for insurance when the drought comes. They have been successful, because the farmers less afraid to invest and allowing them to become more productive.
    7. One example of how some cities have adapted to rising seas is outfall pipes being retrofitted to shut seawater off from entering the system. Another example of how some cities have adapted to rising seas is adding a seawall to protect buildings. They have been successful, because the outfall pipers being retrofitted mean harmful bacteria cannot enter the system and residents get to have feedback on how they would like to protect the cities buildings.
    8. According to Ms. Arryo residents can choose to protect certain areas with seawalls, accommodate by raising buildings, or to conserve by retreating them.
    9. I think most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Strom Sandy and Nemo is, because we are not often personally affected by disasters. It is rare for disasters to happen in New York and I feel like Climate Change is not often talked about here in regards of the impact it might have on New York.
    10. I agree somewhat with Ms. Arryo that when it comes to the issues of climate change we can no longer "rely on the past and established norms" to guide our planning. I agree that we should look at different ways to prevent and lessen damage from disaster. I agree that precautionary measures should be taken and I agree that evacuation plans should be updated. Like, the PETS act being created. However, I think we should not completely forget what has been helpful in the past in terms of planning in case of disaster. We should continue to look for new ways to protect our people and homes from disaster, but we should continue to use what's been successful in the past, too.

  23. 11. This talk can help me when I receive my assigned geographic feature on which my future city will be built, because I can see how my city might be more vulnerable to disaster and how I can choose to protect the city through planning. Like, if I know my city may be prone to flooding then I can raise my buildings higher.

    1 – This TED talk is different because it focuses more on natural disasters and what steps can be taken to overall prevent damage to cities.

    2 – Ms. Arroyo ‘sheds’ light on the economic consequences of natural disasters.

    3 – Cities building and making their water walls higher and Ms. Arroyo’s mothers church which had solar panels.

    4 – It is important to understand the human element because lives are the one thing that cannot be replaces, unlike homes which are constantly lost and rebuilt, understanding the human element is the only way to move forward.

    5 – Congresses adapted to the human element by allowing peoples beloved pets to leave and come with them during evacuation.

    6 – Cities had solar panels installed and they are building terraces.

    7 – Some cities have raised their sea walls and others have been installing backflow prevention.

    8 – It is to start preparing the ecosystem so that it becomes stronger and in return it is positive for the people climate wise.

    9 – As New Yorkers we are simply not exposed to climate change the same way other people in states are, so even after one or two super storms they still do not compare to the history of other states.

    10 – I have to agree with Ms. Arroyo the world and its climate is constantly changing and as that happens we cannot sit idly bad and just watch expecting everything to go okay, we need to be proactive and start realizing that we cannot rely on the past for answers on how to deal with these catastrophic natural disasters.

    11 – It makes me more conscious of the potential threats nature poses and how I can try to prevent them by being proactive and thinking ahead before it is too late.

  25. 1.this talk different than the others because it talked about how we should do if there's a natural disaster.
    2.other “distributional consequences” she talked about how we can prevent these things from happening.
    3. 2 examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods is they made solar buildings and energy efficient buildings.
    4.The human elements is important because we can stay safe from natural disasters.
    5.Congress adapt to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by making them bring there pets along with them.
    6.2 examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought by building green houses and building houses by the water.
    7.2 examples of how some cities have adapted to rising seas by raise buildings and sea walls.
    8.legal and policy changes are available to help prepare for a new climate because they want to plan be before anything happens .
    9. New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo because there not use to disasters like that.
    10.i agree with her because we cant depend on the past weather for the future weather.
    11.this ted talk helps me because it can show me where and where not to build my houses like by water in case a tsunami comes are a hurricane

  26. 1- This ted talk is different in comparison to the other due to the given information about natural disasters and how to protect the city from them.

    2- Ms. Arryo talks about the effect an natural disaster has on the cites economic status and the ways to protect a city from certain natural disasters.

    3- One example is New Orleans building a wall 21 feet and some change high to prevent any water from getting over. Another example is the energy star church that was made with solar panels on the top to feed energy to where ever they could and not have to worry about power outages.

    4- What Ms. Arroyo is saying is that understanding and adapting to the human element is being able to realize that a certain things can be replaced but a human life cannot be.

    5- The Congress had to adapt to the "Human Element" because they had no choice but to create a evacuation plan in order to save the Human Element.

    6- Some cities have prepared for heat and drought by investing in solar roofs and green roofs which will help with the intense heat and the lack of moisture.

    7- Some cities have prepared for rising sea levels by building higher sea walls to prevent flooding and by also building backflow prevention zones which will allow the water to flow somewhere else when it reaches a certain height.

    8- The Legal policies that have been discussed is to better the ecosystem so the climate change can not impact us that much.

    9- Most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo due to how large New York is there is no way to see all of the we are surrounded by.

    10- i agree with Ms. Arroyo that when it comes to the issue of climate change we can no longer “rely on the past and established norms” to guide our planning to the extent that our world is constantly changing. But history always repeats it self with or with out our knowledge

    11- This talk will help for when i receive my assigned geographic feature on which my “future city” will be built by telling me the potential problems i may or may not face on a daily basis.

  27. 1. This ted talk is different from the others, because previously we learned about how Detroit had many struggles to deal with. Also the others mainly focused on rebuilding or cleaning up something. However, this video talked primarily about Hurricane Katrina.
    2. Other distributional consequences Ms. Arroyo shed light on was adaptation: who will care for the elderly, ancestors grave- what will happen to the bodies; relocating- how will they cope, will there be enough resources to support.
    3.Two identifying examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods are: for example New Orleans, built many infrastructures such as twin span highway's, and houses higher. They also designed churches that gave off energy. They are successful, because the material that was used helped them to withstand floods.
    4. Adapting the element is more important, because we need better planning and systems for evacuations. We also need a better understanding of decision making.
    5. Congress adapted to the human element, by passing the pet evacuation transportation and standards act.
    6. some cities adapted to heat & drought, by building houses with roof top terraces, in order to save energy. Another way was most farmers had insurances, for when the drought came. They were successful, because they did not loose any products.
    7. some cities have adapted to rising seas, by installing a back flow prevention to mange the amount of water. And the tensphere, protects against floods.
    8. The legal & policy change that are available is: accommodate zone, and conservation zone.
    9.Most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable they are to climate change, because they are obliviously listening to false advertisement.
    10. We cannot rely on the past and established norms, because in order to get answers and instructions that correctly help us, we have to take matters into our own hand. And the climate is always changing, therefore we will never know what to expect.
    11. This talk will help me with my future city, because it gives me perfect insight on how to properly structure it. And what to look out for.

  28. 1. Unlike the other ted talks I have seen this month, this lady is concerned about natural disasters and the effects they'll have on a city. We don't want another New Orleans incident. That's why we need to be prepared.

    2. No one wants to move to a city that just got destroyed by Mother Nature. Property value will surely decrease. And for the remaining residents, they must adapt on their new land.

    3. Evacuation warnings, getting everyone out of town prior to the disaster. Also, tall, reinforced buildings would be a great idea. Their pretty hard to knock down, I'll bet.

    4. Human Element vs Material Possession. Materials can be replaced, humans however, cannot. That is the sad, but true realization.

    5. Good ol' Congress gave post-disaster people the ability to leave town with their pets. The bill is called Pet Evacuation and Transportation.

    6. Garland, Texas opened up their school gymnasiums (with AC) to hand out cool refreshments during a serious drought. Another city used green and solar roofs to eliminate the hot heat.

    7. Places like the U.K created sea walls to stop the flooding. Also, people like to take advantage of the flooding by building dams. Dams means power, green power. Helps out the city and environment 100%.

    8. Help out your local ecosystem, be consciousness of where you leave. Stop deforestation and killing off rare parrots, and you will prosper. (in here).

    9. New Yawk doesn't have a lot of natural disasters. We never have earthquakes, flooding, or major droughts. When we do have a natural disaster occur is isn't really anything to talk about. (During Super Storm Sandy, I didn't even lose my power xD).

    10. Our climate is constantly changing. Global Warming wasn't an issue back then; I fear our climate will gradually get worse overtime. We must stop relying on the past and create a new meta (plan).

    11. My city is going to be in Kansas, so I'm going to have to build some barriers and rein enforced buildings because the tornadoes are real down there.

  29. 1.This topic of Ted Talk different from others I’ve viewed so far by instead of caring to make a better environment we focus on preventing natural disasters.

    2. When most people think of the consequences of natural disasters and climate change their first thoughts are about property and loss of life, the distributional consequences Ms. Arroys sheds on are how it affects the population and the impact of these disasters they have on the economic value of the land.

    3. Two examples of how some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods by when New Orleans built twin span highways that were 21 feet higher. This was successful because this avoided water getting on to the road. Another example of cities adapting to violent floods and storms was when cities built buildings that go against hard-hitting storms. This was successful because they were immune to hard-hitting storms.

    4. According to Ms. Arroyo understanding and adapting to the “human element” is more important than infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disaster because we’d need better planning and evacuation systems for example some people couldn’t commute during hurricane Katrina without a way to escape, if that was planned ahead those people could’ve escaped.

    5. Congress adapted to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by making a bill, which planned, for residents to have an evacuation plan.

    6. Two examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought by Chicago having an ice truck. This was successful because it brought people in. Another way cities have prepared for heat and drought by building solar panels. This was successful because with solar panels you could transform electricity to energy.

    7. Two examples of how some cities have prepared for rising seas by building structures higher to prevent being swept away. Another example of how some cities have prepared for rising seas by crating protection zones in the UK.

    8. According to Ms. Arroyo legal policies that are available to help prepare for new climates were to help strengthen the ecosystem and making the economy more rich and to prepare for natural disasters that may come in the future.

    9. New Yorkers don’t realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo because they think they’re safe due to the rarity of storms we get.

    10. I disagree with Ms. Arroyo because not relying on the past could even help future fails, because if you didn’t know what to do if a hurricane came by and all you’ve done was just stay home thinking it’ll be ok there’s a huge possibility you’d be wrong and it would mess up you’re property or even kill you.

    11. This Ted Talk can help my “future city” be built by preparing for natural disasters the best way possible to prevent property loss and even deaths. It could also attract people to settle because if people found out my city was immune to natural disasters they would more than likely to consider moving here.

    The topic of this talk is different from the others that i have viewed so far because of the topic itself. it talks about building homes and areas to be strong and able to withstand natural disasters so the buildings wont be as destroyed as they could be potentially. How natural disasters affect cities and the people who reside there.
    2
    The consequences of natural disasters and climate change do not only include the loss of property and the loss of life, but the impact it may have on the economy and how much damage it would deal to the areas land, causing the loss of food, as well as the loss or damaging of natural resources.
    3
    Cities have adapted to violent storms and floods by building sturdier buildings and higher highways. They were successful because the sturdier buildings were able to withstand more intense weather and the higher built highways this way the highways would not flood as easily.
    4
    According to Ms. Arroyo, understanding and adapting to the "human element" is even more important than adapting to infrastructure and technology, when dealing with natural disasters, because people need better evacuation plans, because everyone did not have access to transportation during previous natural disasters that have occurred.
    5
    Congress adapted to the "human element" after Hurricane Katrina by passing the Pet Evacuation and Transportation act which gave citizens the right to evacuate with their pet(s).
    6
    Some cities prepared for heat and drought by building gardens and green houses upon roofs/ on top of buildings which was successful because it would make it easier for the sun's rays to reach the vegetative areas on the top of buildings, producing more food and plants. Another way some cities have prepared for heat and drought is by creating cooling systems, such as the one Chicago has built. The cooling systems have been successful because they are able to cool down the area in which the climate rose.
    7
    Some cities have have adapted to rising seas by building higher sea walls in order to prevent flooding and by creating protection zones such as those built in the UK. The building of higher sea walls are successful because they prevent sea water from flooding the city when the sea levels increase. The protection zones are successful because they protected are protecting the areas they are supposed to with its sea walls, as well as other areas such as UK where temp-barriers protect London from storm surges.
    8
    According to Ms. Arroyo, the legal and policy changes that are available to help prepare for a new climate are to make the economy richer and to make it much more valuable, as well as make the ecosystem stronger than it was before.
    9
    I think that most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change, even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo, because we are still not as nearly as prepared as we should be for the next storm or natural disaster that could occur, and people are sitting around acting like a disaster will most likely not affect them simply because past natural disasters have not affected them in the past. Sad to say that there are still many people who don not know how to evacuate New York City if needed to do so.
    10
    I agree fully to the extent of what Ms. Arroyo's statement when she says we can no loner "rely on the past and established norms" to guide our planning, because what has been built and/or planned in the past may not work for the future, the norm may not work because something could happen and we might have no idea how to stop or run from it.
    11
    This talk can help me for when I receive my assigned geographic feature on which my "future city" will be built because this talk showed me that i would need to plan ahead and build my city to withstand natural disasters and to be able to survive in the long run.

  31. 1.This TED talk is different from the other TED talks because it talks about protecting cities from natural disasters and climate change while the other ones discussed improving a city that has already declined or about to.
    2.Ms.Arroyo sheds light on the economy is affected after a natural disaster and the surrounding resources being destroyed.
    3.One example of how cities are protecting themselves from violent storms and flood is the Twin Spans in New Orleans were built 21 feet higher. Another example is the energy efficient buildings being built with solar panels.
    4.According to Ms.Arroyo understanding and adapting to the human element is important because we need to accommodate to our surroundings and know how to protect and evacuate because human life isn't replaceable while material matters are.
    5. The congress adapted to the Human Element because they allowed people to bring their pets with them in an evacuation.

    7.One example of how cities have been preparing for rising sea levels are building higher sea walls so flooding won't occur and in the UK they created protection zones.
    8. According to Ms.Arroyo, the policies available are improving the ecosystem and our protection against natural disaster.
    9. Most New yorkers don't realize how vunerable we are to climate change even after the natural disasters we experienced because we neglect it and don't realize how surrounded we actually are.
    10. I agree with with Ms.Arroyo that we can no longer follow normal protocol. Humans are adapting to our changing surroundings and in order to protect ourselves against it we must make new and improved plans.
    11. This talk will help me protect my city from the natural disasters that my city might experience based on its geographic feature.

  32. 1. The topic Ms. Arroyo talked about was different because unlike all the others that talked about making the environment better , she talked about natural disasters.
    2. Ms. Arroyo talked about natural distaster and ways we can try to stop them.
    3. Two ways cities could help adapt better in natural disasters is make solar building and making their water walls higher.
    4. According to Ms. Arroyo, understanding and adapting to the “human element” was even more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disaster because a human life is more important than material things like houses and cars.
    5. Congress adapted to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by creating and passing the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act.

    6. 2 examples of how some cities have prepared for heat and drought is preserving natural resources and they built a cooling system in Chicago. They’ve been successful because they’re saving energy.

    7. Some cities adapted to rising seas by raising the sea walls and making the buildings taller. It was successful because it prevented flooding

    8. According to Ms. Arroyo, a legal and policy change that’s available to help prepare for a new climate is strengthening the ecosystem.

    9. Why do you think most New Yorkers do not realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo? Explain. I think most New Yorkers do not realize how vunerable we are to climate change even after Sandy and Nemo because our storms aren’t as bad as other storms in other places are. What we fail to realize is that it can and will get worst

    10. I agree with Ms. Arroyo about “relying on past norms” because nothing is normal anymore. Everything is changing and nobody knows what’s coming our way

    11. How can this talk help you for when you receive your assigned geographic feature on which your “future city” will be built? This talk can help me when I receive my assigned geographic feature on which my future city will be built because I know how that im going to need an emergency plan if any natural disasters happen. It also shows me to take extra precautions such as higher, stronger buildings or higher water walls.

  34. 1) This Ted Talk focuses on the prention of natural disasters.

    2)when most people think of the consequences of natural disasters and climate change their first thoughts are about loss of property and loss of life but it can also hurt the economy.

    3)Cities have built building and houses to prevent natural disasters that occur offten in that city.

    4) According to Ms, Arroyo, understanding as acting to the "human element" is even more important then adapting to the infrastructure and technology, when dealing with natural disasters people needed a better plan to be safe.

    5) After Hurricane Katrina , Congress passed the oet evacuation and transportation act.

    6) By building gardens and green houses ,some cities were prepared for the heat and drought. This is just one way. A second way Is cooling systems.

    7) Building higher sea walls to prevent flooding.( Which I personally don't think will work.) And second is protection zones like the ones in the UK.

    8) According to Ms. Arroyo, the legal and policy changes that are available to help prepare for new climate are to make the economy richer and valuable also to make the ecosystem stronger than it was a long time before.

    9) Some New Yorkers are not really prepared. As to my knowledge there no evacuation centers for natural disasters or underground places to go in case of a tornado or something.

    10)I agree fully to the extent of what Ms.Arroyo's statement when she says we can no longer rely on the past and established norms to guide our planning because what has been built or planned in the past clearly isn't working as we see from the outcomes today.

    11)This talj can help me because I think this topic is majorly important to me and to building a city. You ave to kbow what natural disasters occur there the most. You have to know what your building on top of and below of.The buildings should be built according to its climate and history of previous natural disasters. Especially the homes where the citizens will dwell in.

  35. 1. The topic of this talk is different than the others you have viewed so far is because it doesn’t talk about how bad the neighborhoods are and how we can change it for the better Ms Aroys is telling us that people should create homes and buildings higher and stronger so it can be prepared for disasters before they occur.
    2. Other “distributional consequences” of natural disasters and climate change is economic and social problems.
    3. Some cities have adapted to violent storms and floods like New Orleans built homes higher from the ground so it wouldn’t get flooded and the community church is the first to have solar panels to conserve energy from.
    4. Understanding and adapting to the “human element” even more important than adapting infrastructure and technology when dealing with natural disasters is because we were prepared in the past and many people died, homes were destroyed, and workplaces this also helps us save energy.
    5. Congress adapt to the “human element” after Hurricane Katrina by providing the pets evacuate transportation system act (PETS) allowing them to escape with their lives as well with their families.
    6. Some cities have prepared for heat and drought, in Chicago they have created building cooling systems to cool down building when it gets too hot and they have also built green roofs on building which can grow more plant life.
    7. Some cities have adapted to rising seas one example is Britain they created a barrier shield to protect London from high waves also another example is raising buildings from the ground to prevent flooding to destroying homes.
    8. Legal and policy changes are available to help prepare people for climate changes for safety purposes to prepare for any upcoming climate disasters which can’t be prevented.
    9. Most New Yorkers don’t realize how vulnerable we are to climate change even after events like Super Storm Sandy and Nemo is because we aren’t used to natural disasters so people believe that there’s going disaster free and that’s the reason why when storms occur no one takes them seriously.
    10. Ms. Arroyo says the issue of climate change we can no longer “rely on the past and established norms” to guide our planning is because our climate is constantly changing no one can predict when another natural disaster will occur.
    11. This talk will help me for my assigned geographic feature on which your “future city” will be built by making strong decisions on building a more strong homes and buildings and creating acts that allow people to carry pets and providing transportation for them to escape in an event of a natural disaster.

  36. 1. one topic that is different from the others is talking about disasters in the world.
    2. Other problems in the world is crowding and issues like political issues.
    3. Due to corruption from the weather it caused to rebuild.
    4. I understand the point he was trying to get across because he wants to rebuilding.
    5. Many lives were lost families were destroyed and friends lost in touch due to the destruction of nature.
    6. Some places were ready for the horrible occurrences the weather was going to bring and produced like shelters such as a green house.
    7.Some places are used to the interesting a destructive things nature brings.
    8 Legal and policy changes are there for the protection of the people.
    9. People who live in newyork don't usually get hot with such bad storms but when we do newyork isn't built really or used to such horrible storms.
    10. The reason for the change in weather many may not no.
    11. help me with my future city the landscape.

  37. 1. The topic of this TED talk is differs from all the previous ones because this on is talking about the climate and how it effects everything , but in the other videos it talks about making more public spaces aand cleaning up the neighborhoods.
    2.The other issues that Ms. Arroyo sheds light on is the fact that it effects the people and what they loss while these natural diasters occur.
    3.Some people have adapted to violent storms and floods is that cities would start building the buildings higher and they would create shelters when anything occurs.
    4.Adapting to the human element is important because we need to be protected so it is better to be safe then sorry , to be protected and safe rather then out in the open and unprotective.
    5.Congress adapted to human element after hurricane katrina by actually thinking about what the people wanted.
    6.People have prepared for heat and drought byone stocking up and two by building there own resources this helped get throught the heat and drought and also saved alot of money.
    7.Cities have adapted to risinng seas by the building bigger buildings and creating sea shields both has protected the water from over flooding anything especially the sea shields.
    8.The legal and policy changes that are avaiable to help prepare for new climate is the way buildings are being built now and how we are creating more safe places for people to go if something was to occur.
    9.I think most New Yorkers do not realize anything because one things like that hardly occur and because we fix it so well and fast afterward , that its just unnoticeable.
    10. I agree because this is a new way of life , things get worse and the climate changes and gets stronger.If we keep doing what we did in the past , it is more likely that we end up dead , everything chnages.
    11.This talk can help me because now i need to figure out what type of climate it is in my city , maybe i need to build the building higher or shorter.

  38. 1. The topic Ms. Arroyo talked about was different because unlike all the others that talked about making the environment better , she talked about natural disasters.
    2. Ms. Arroyo provides information on the economic disasters and she talk about how it Change the population.
    3. Cities adapted to violent storms and floods by building higher highways like the twin spans and by making "raise energy efficient" buildings to go against hard hitting storms
    4. It is important to understand the human element because lives are the one thing that cannot be replaces, unlike homes which are constantly lost and rebuilt, understanding the human element is the only way to move forward.
    5. Congress adapted to human element after hurricane Katrina by actually thinking about what the people wanted.
    6. Cities have really been trying to adapt to the changing climate. One example is the building of gardens and green houses on top of buildings and another example is the cooling system cities such as Chicago have built.
    7. Cities adapt to sea level rising by creating Protection Zones like in the UK. They used temp-barriers to protect London from storm surges. In Asia, cities climate resilient networks restore mangrove growth through Conservation Zones.
    8. The Legal policies that have been discussed is to better the ecosystem so the climate change can not impact us that much.
    9. Most New yorkers don't realize how vunerable we are to climate change even after the natural disasters we experienced because we neglect it and don't realize how surrounded we actually are
    10. I agree with Ms.Arroyo that we can't rely on past storms, because what worked in the past might not be able to work again planning for something else
    11. This talk will help me protect my city from the natural disasters that my city might experience based on its geographic feature.

  39. 1. This topic is different from the others because this topic is talking about the climate and natural diseasters of cities rather than talk about the pollution of cities.
    2.Ms.Arroyo sheds light on more of the climate of cities that caused encomic faliure and natural disasters.
    3. Cities adapted to violent storms and floods by buliding better and higher highways. Also, they apodoted the climate by buliding bigger homes from the ground so like New Orlean homes wouldnt be flooded and destroyed like last disaster.
    4. Understanding and adapting to the human element is more important because it would be better and safer for humans to understand tough situations like an natural disaster. For example, the movie volacano is one example where people didnt know what to do during a natural disaster.
    5. Congress adapted to the "human element" by passing the act of P.E.T. evacuation and transportation standards act , giving people the right to get out the storm with their pets
    6. Cities prepared for a heat and drought by building systems where they can cool the buliding off.in Chicago, they have created a vegetative green roofs for droughts. It help saved energy and help runoff water.
    7. Cities adapted to rising seas by creating building walls higher on the high ways, it was successful idea because it stopped floods . 8.The legal and policy changes that are help to prepare a new climate is the ecosystem for cities. The climate can adjust to its enivorment.
    9.I think most New Yorkers do not realize anything because New York doesnt really have a horrible climate like down south does and the west side of American. They have dust bowls, and also many hurricanes and torandos than New York really does.
    10. I agree because this is how our generation is set up.
    11.This talk can help me alot because it made , me realize what was the climate of my city that I am working on. Sense im working on the mountain s in Kenya, Africa I noticed that my city has a arrid climate thanks to this ted talk.

  40. .) This is different because this topic is kinda different from the other ones. This topic is mostly about how if the sea level rises, people should build higher and build at least 21 ft above ground. They should leave that much space so of water does come it will just pass through and won't really damage or destroy your home.
    2.) Ms.Aroys was talking about how the economy gets affected. If your property gets destroyed or damaged, you're going to tell the insurance to fix it, even tho they might cover all the damages they will try. Same thing will loss of lives. You will tell the life insurance agents to cove for all the medical and other expenses.
    3.) One example is church star. It got it's energy from solar panels. It was the first energy star. Another example is when New Orleans built their water wall. It was 21 ft. higher from the ground.
    4.) Human needs are more important because if you build a house and it gets destroyed because of a natural disaster, you might or might not get that house back. But if you loose a person's life, you will never get that back. That is why the reason you should care more about humans. We build homes but they get destroyed by the natural disaster.
    5.) It is the government that is giving them a warning and is trying to tell all families to leave their homes, before the hurricane comes.
    6.) Some people installed solar roofs. That saves them energy and saves them from the heat and drought. This was successful because some others planted roof tops. It's the same idea, it saves you energy.
    7.) One example is that they rose the buildings and sea walls 21 ft. from the ground. Another example is that 0they had water and surge treatment.
    8.) One is to raise all buildings and sea levels 21 ft. from ground. Another thing is that their economic system should become more valuable. They should all strengthen themselves. They should all get involved.
    9.) We haven't learned our lesson because we know that we barely get any natural disasters. We are not used to natural disasters. And when they do come no one is really serious due to the fact that we barely have them. No one really cares until it gets them hard.
    10.) We can't tell exactly the future, we can't rely on the past. We don't know what time what's going to happen because climate is changing non stop, due to pollution and etc.
    11.) This TED talk can help me with my final project by letting me know that I should build my homes, buildings, sea walls and etc. 21 ft. higher than the ground because you never know when a natural disaster is going to come or a flood. So if water does come it will just pass through and will save some dangers from happening.

  41. 1. this ted talk is different from others because all the other ones talk about fixing the environment, but this ted talk is telling us how to build stuff to prevent disasters.
    2. Ms.arroyo explained how disasters can cause pollution and how it destroys peoples property.
    3.two examples of people adapting to the storms are making more stable buildings and they built the high ways higher.
    4.ms.arroyo wants us to understand that adapting to storm is important because you need to plan ahead before anything happens.
    5.the congress adapted to the human element after katrina by letting people leave with their pets.
    6. two examples that some cities prepared for heat and drought is building terraces and green roofs.
    7. two examples cities have adapted to rising sea levels is by building higher buildings and creating sea walls.
    8.the legal policy is that they want to plan out something before and disaster hits.
    9.new yorkers are aware how vulnerable we are to disasters because look we were prepared for hurricane sandy, everyone doesn't isn't used to the climate change or nothing because stuff like that doesn't happen often.
    10. mr. arroyo said that the climate is changing everyday i agree with her because pollution has a lot to do with it and that is our biggest problem here.
    11.this ted talk could help me build my city so we could make plans just in case a storm hits like put shelters or sea walls.
