With much help and inspiration from many others, I have created an Island
Vulnerability website http://www.islandvulnerability.org to explore the
challenges which islands and other isolated geographies face when dealing
with risk and disasters. The website examines the processes which create,
maintain, and could be used to reduce the vulnerability of islands. As
well, despite the strong importance of islands and of developing solutions
specific to them, an inevitable and as-important outcome is transferring the
lessons from islands to larger and less isolated communities.
Comments, ideas, contributions, and further sources would be welcome, either

Thank you very much,
Ilan
