68. Why Aren’t We Making Our Homes Safer with Henk Ovink?

After seeing how close Hurricane Ian came to hitting Tampa it seemed like a great time to reach out to Henk Ovink. Henk is a Dutch special envoy to the United Nations and a flood expert. In 2015, he was appointed as the first Water Ambassador of the Netherlands. He is responsible for advocating water awareness around the world. He was part of President Obama’s Task Force for rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy struck the northeast part of the country in the fall of 2012.

Here are some important moments with Henk from the podcast:

At 4:18 What should people in Tampa be doing to prepare after seeing the damage from Hurricane Ian?

At 13:41 How do people in Sanibel Island Florida go forward after such a monumental disaster?

At 16:44 Why aren’t more people building like they did in Babcock Ranch, Florida?
