Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
Today we kick off a 3 part series that we call "Disaster Ingredients". Over the next few weeks we will explore the "risk triangle" of hazards x vulnerability x exposure.
Helping us to explore natural hazards is Historical and Social Volcanologist Jazmin Scarlett, from the University of Hull in the UK. She recounts stories of societies living with hazards from her PhD field work, and we talk about the importance of risk communication and a deep understanding of social and political context.
Next week we will be back to talk about vulnerability with Dr Joanne Jordan - don't miss it!
