In this episode of Heartbeat of Humanity, MHPSS Technical Advisor Shona Whitton talks to John Richardson about disaster preparedness, disaster resilience and disaster risk reduction. And why it is a problem calling fires, floods and storms ‘natural disasters’.
John Richardson is the Manager of Knowledge Development at the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience. Prior to his current role, John worked as the National Resilience Advisor with Australian Red Cross for more than 16 years.
