In this episode of the Tell US How to Make It Better podcast, host George Siegal discusses the issue of people living in vulnerable areas and the challenges associated with rebuilding after disasters. He is joined by Mark Mauriello, a coastal geologist with expertise in natural hazard management and land use regulation.
