About The Disaster Response
From the publisher's feed
Each episode tells the story of a different natural disaster and its aftermath. Hosts Paul and Josiah have several years’ experience working and volunteering on disaster recovery programs worldwide – but only Paul knows what the topic will be before the episode starts.
We hope to educate, entertain, and spread appreciation for the power of natural disasters, the process of recovery, and the impact a disaster can have on the community where it strikes.
