In episode 223 of America Adapts, we explore disaster resilience and climate adaptation through four expert interviews. We start with Anita Van Breda of WWF’s Environment and Disaster Management (EDM) program who kicks things off by sharing the program’s 20-year journey integrating nature into disaster risk management. Then, Dr. Ken Conca critiques large-scale flood control in Ellicott City, Maryland, advocating for community-driven solutions. Next, Irantzu Serra Lasa, founder of Resilure, shares insights into post-disaster housing recovery and the need for professionalized shelter reconstruction. Finally, Achala Navaratni from the American Red Cross, highlights the role of sustainability and interdisciplinary expertise in humanitarian work. Join us for an episode packed with insights on building resilience in a changing world!
