How Do Communities Recover From Disasters?

From the creator

What have researchers learned about how communities recover after major disasters? After thousands of homes burned in Altadena, Pasadena, and the Pacific Palisades during the January 2025 LA Fires, the Caltech Science Exchange asked that question of disaster expert Lucy Jones. Jones is a visiting associate in geophysics and founder of the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society. In this video and at the Caltech Science Exchange, learn which factors matter the most in a community’s ability to recover from disaster. Hear about major goals that recovering communities must balance as they rebuild. https://scienceexchange.caltech.edu/topics/sustainability/ask-expert-sustainability/lucy-jones-disaster-recovery
