In this first Living With Risk Conversation, we are joined by professor Robert Olshansky, a global expert in post disaster planning and reconstruction. Olshansky provides thoughtful answers to a series of key questions, such as: how is this COVID-19 disaster different from other catastrophes heā€™s studied? How does post disaster recovery looks like for the Coronavirus pandemic? And can Puerto Rico bounce back from yet another disaster? The conversation between Olshansky and Deepak Lamba-Nieves, PhD, CNE Research Director, took place on April 3, 2020.
