American Journal Of Public Health Podcast

The hurricanes and wildfires are announcing a new normal in public health: a time in which natural disasters occur and recur regularly, most likely at an accelerating pace. With my guests I review what it is to be victim of a hurricane, what can be done to prevent some of the humanitarian and environmental consequences, and what can be done after the disaster to rebuild often poorly built communities the right way. Th last interview is about whether and how this new public health normal is linked to climate change. My interviewees are: Tara Zolnikov, Carlos Rodrigues-Díaz, Maureen Lichtveld, Reed Tuckson, and Alistair Woodward.
