This year on WSP's People and Place Podcast, we are introducing a miniseries titled Planning for Natural Hazards, and Dr. Mark Maund, WSP's Planning and Approvals Team Lead for Regional New South Wales and ACT, will be hosting it. Join Mark as he speaks with some brilliant specialists from around Australia who will contribute to the conversation around planning for natural hazards and a better future. In our fifth episode Helen Sloane, Senior Associate Environmental Scientist WSP, joins Mark to share her knowledge on the impact of disasters and how planning can help create more resilient communities. They discuss their personal experiences with natural hazards, the disaster ripple effect, and temporary accommodation ideas for those who have been displaced due to disasters.
