Professor Lucy Easthope, emergency planner
Professor Lucy Easthope is an adviser on disaster recovery and planning.
She’s an expert in planning for and reacting to major incidents: natural disaster, terrorist attacks, pandemics and fires, and is the visiting Professor of Mass Fatalities and Pandemics at the University of Bath.
Born in Merseyside in 1978, Lucy cites the impact of watching the Hillsborough football disaster on TV as a child as one of the driving reasons of her decision to pursue a career in disaster management. Her work has involved working in mortuaries, attending fatal accidents and training teams to react to emergencies.
Alongside her career, Lucy has written two books about emergency planning and disaster recovery.
Lucy lives in Shropshire with her husband and two children.
