Pt 1: The UK’s Top Emergency Planner on How We Heal After Disaster | Professor Lucy Easthope
•
Professor Lucy Easthope is the UK’s leading authority on recovering from disaster, and has been an advisor on nearly every major disaster of the last 20 years, including: 9/11, the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, the 7/7 bombings, and more recently events such as Grenfell and the pandemic.
So many of us may avoid watching the news because it can feel like there’s always something scary happening, but a large part of Lucy’s work is helping people recover and heal from these horrific events and continue to find hope for a brighter future.
In part one, Lucy joins Dr Alex George to discuss what an emergency planner actually does, her experience working in the aftermath of 9/11 and why what we do after a disaster matters more than we think…
Plus, Lucy shares the secret dangers of heroism and gives some helpful advice for parents on how to talk about world events with your children.
