After seeing firsthand the inefficiency and slow progress of traditional disaster recovery, Zack Rosenburg and Liz McCartney founded their own non-profit in 2006. Named for the parish they volunteered in post-Katrina, they called their organization the St. Bernard Project. Today, the organization is known simply as SBP. Headquartered in New Orleans, SBP seeks to achieve its mission through five interventions: Rebuild, Share, Prepare, Advice, and Advocate. In this episode, we speak with JR Sanderson, Senior Government Advisor and Director of the Resiliency and Recovery Lab about his role within SBP in preparing and advising public servants.
