ОТНОСТНО ТОЗИ ЕПИЗОД
Many of us probably think we know what an emergency response to something like a big earthquake looks like. But behind the scenes is a lesser-known aspect of response – the scientists who are rapidly assessing hazards and risks, and getting critical information to decision-makers.
In this episode Caitlin speaks with Bill Fry about what it’s like to work under that kind of pressure. We also hear from Liam Wotherspoon about the major damage to infrastructure networks, and from Lucy Kaiser about the experiences of the Takahanga marae community who stepped up to support locals and tourists in the initial aftermath.
