Planning to Learn: The CapAsia Experience Marino Solorio - Ball State University - BURP Program - iNOVA Design & Development LLC. 4219 Homerlee Ave. East Chicago, IN. 46312 - (219) 455-8601
Abstract In the spring semester of 2008, 18 students took a trip across the globe to study how people recover from disasters and how we as professionals could enhance the people’s recovery processes. The destinations were five villages in Hambantota District, Sri Lanka that were hit by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. We also conducted some background studies in various disaster stricken regions such as New Orleans (USA), Band Aceh (Indonesia), Phuket (Thailand), Mumbai (India) while culturally immersing ourselves and changing the way we looked at disaster planning.
