Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast
Society & Culture
This week we continue our discussion of the misnomer "natural disaster" and connect with the founder of the #NoNaturalDisasters Twitter campaign, Kevin Blanchard!
Kevin is the Director of DRR Dynamics, a UK-based research organisation focused on ensuring the inclusion and empowerment of marginalised groups in the policy and practice of disaster risk reduction and humanitarian emergencies. He has undertaken extensive work developing inclusive DRR and humanitarian policy for national governments, international agencies and NGO’s.
In the last couple of years, #NoNaturalDisasters has become influential online. We discuss the campaign's origins and vision!
