With temperatures rising and the risk of disasters growing, our world is increasingly vulnerable. Most people see disasters as freak, natural events that are unpredictable and unpreventable. But that simply isn’t the case – disasters are avoidable, but when they do strike, there are strategic ways to manage the fallout. (From book cover) I talk to author and disaster researcher, Dr. Samantha Montano, who'll will talk about her first book - Disasterology - as she explains why we aren’t doing enough to prevent or prepare for disasters and how our approach to recovery needs to change. It's timely narrative that draws on Dr. Montano's first-hand experience in emergency management, and it's an episode you don't want to miss.
