S2E16 - Homeless
Monday Apr 20, 2020
Monday Apr 20, 2020
This week we are so pleased to sit down with Jamie Vickery to discuss how disasters affect people experiencing homelessness, and some of the deeper issues at play that are too often overlooked. We cover emergency response, policy, trust and narratives, and consider how we might challenge a culture that normalizes homelessness as a cautionary tale.

Thanks to Carlee Purdum from the Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center at Texas A&M for joining us this week to share about her research on disasters and prisoners, and unpack some of the narratives that shape our understanding of incarceration, particularly in the United States. How are prisoners particularly at risk in disasters, and how does the state exploit their status as modern day slaves? Download and listen in to this and more!
