Loma Prieta Earthquake: The 35th Anniversary (Recast)

We are honoring the Loma Prieta Earthquake which took place on October 17, 1989 in Watsonville, California, by recasting our original podcast. We want to honor those who lost their lives and to those who responded to save lives and servethose who were impacted.
You will hear about the fundamentals of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery particularly for vulnerable communities.  Our podcast features Interviews with medical providers and Watsonville community leaders who responded immediately after the earthquake; these local heroes provide their first-hand oral histories of the creative steps they took to quickly outreach to and serve farmworkers and the Watsonville Community.

Understanding the long-term impact of disasters/pandemics reminds us of the transformation that can happen when people work together to prepare for and respond to the needs of vulnerable groups. HealthCare UnTold dedicates this podcast to those who work tirelessly everyday to improve conditions in and empower their communities.
