Daniel P. Aldrich; Director of the Security and Resilience Studies program at Northeastern University directs his focus towards the importance of building a strong “social infrastructure” to combat trauma and increase resilience. Aldrich’s research has discovered evacuees from the Fukushima nuclear power meltdowns found more solace from social networks such as neighbours, friends and families during the evacuation than factors such as health and livelihoods. Aldrich further points out that even social media has developed outlets for those affected by such tragedy.
