Episode 11: Marvin Pratt | Paradise and the anatomy of a disaster: After the flames have died.

On Today's episode Marvin Pratt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety and Emergency Manager for California State University, Chico joins us to share his perspective on recent Camp Fire in Paradise, California and the immediate and lasting impact of an event of this magnitude. What happens after the tragic honeymoon is over, after the media gets their fix and leaves town. As much as we'd like, the disaster doesn't leave with them.  We talk about the logistics of the immediate tsunami of people fleeing the flames and having nowhere to go as well as the continuous impact of 30,000 homeless residents suddenly needing a place to go and rebuild their lives. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message
