S7E3 - Remaining Human in Emergency Planning
Today we were so happy to sit down with Professor Lucy Easthope, author of "When the Dust Settles" and the UK’s leading authority on recovering from disaster. She has been a government advisor on the 2004 Boxing day tsunami, 7/7 bombings in London, Grenfell fire, and the Covid-19 pandemic. We discuss disaster language, care for victims and practitioners, and how to work within an often dehumanising response system. Check it out!
