In this episode we're taking you to the frontlines of some of the world's largest natural disasters. 
Our Interim Vice-Chancellor is joined by IT expert and Disaster Responder, Andrej Verity.
For more than a decade, the United Nations has deployed Andrej to support with its relief operations for floods, earthquakes and typhoons. 
He explains the crucial role IT professionals play in disaster zones - from collecting data to inform the search and rescue teams to helping re-connect a country’s telecommunications and infrastructure.
