In light of the 1 year anniversary of hurricane Maria, We are doing a 2-part series on the U.S. territories affected by last year's hurricanes Maria and Irma. For Part 1, Max chats with Dr Marietta Vazquez, a Yale pediatric infectious disease specialist and Boricua, about the hurricane aftermath from the Puerto-rican diaspora’s perspective: the medical relief efforts that took place, hurricane season preparation in Puerto Rico, and the role of disaster preparedness education for physicians in this era of climate change.
