About this episode

The recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria have left thousands of people killed, trapped and injured, with numbers continually rising. We will be donating all profits from this episode to the Red Cross, to provide help to those affected by the recent earthquakes. 


Today, we’re returning to the conversation we had with Lucy Easthope, expert and adviser on emergency planning and disaster recovery. In this snippet, she details how she deals with disaster, from the 9/11 and the July bombings to COVID-19, and the skills she uses to navigate these scenarios. She shares how she is still able to find light, even in the darkest of situations.
