Abstract :
This paper examines the cyclone-prone
region of Malawi and the impacts of Cyclone Freddy, a
particularly devastating storm. It looks at how hope and
resilience messages, as well as materials, are given to
victims and how these can help them cope with the
aftermath of the storm. The paper also looks at theories
of resilience and the implications of these theories for
the victims of natural disasters. Finally, the paper offers
recommendations for how the government and other
organizations can better prepare for and respond to
future natural disasters. One key element of successful
resilience messages is to focus on positive outcomes and
emphasize the strength of the community.
