She is the person who assesses the scale of a disaster and what is needed to ensure smooth operations in the aftermath. though laced with bleak humour, this vivid and humane book forces readers to look into some exceptionally dark places' - ObserverLucy Easthope lives with disaster every day.
New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter. As there has been a couple of events that Easthope has been involved in, I did increasingly worry she just happens to be there wherever disaster strikes. Whilst online video tools such as Zoom and Teams can be great for connecting the housebound or those unable to attend for multiple reasons, many of us need in-person contact. Subtitled 'Stories of love, loss and hope from an expert in disaster', this is a surprisingly uplifting read.She has also been involved in some of the disasters as a private person, who just happened to be there. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. I was drawn to this book because it's an intriguing topic which is rarely discussed in public, and I wanted to learn more. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. Knowing that her life’s work has been inspired and driven by this tragedy is a testimony to her character. I was taught early on about the beauty of decomposition and the way we break down into our constituent chemicals and minerals, so dead bodies, in whatever state, have never horrified me, although the stories they tell sometimes do ” — When the Dust Settles. Sir Michael Caine knows a thing or two about gangs: whether that’s joining one as a kid, or playing them in movies for over 50 years.It was interesting to read how risks are detailed and managed and how various organisations interlink to ensure the recovery processes are followed in line with current best practice.
She attributes her choice of career to the Hillsborough disaster – a native of Liverpool, she was a child when it happened and saw how the resulting trauma and anger reverberated through communities for years to come. So it is “somewhat dispiriting” to learn that she thinks “a slow rot” has set in in British disaster planning, with the focus shifting lately from doing what is best for the victims to prioritising the “optics” of a catastrophe. Writing this blog on Easter Sunday, this steadfast witness reminds me of the women who waited at the tomb. She has been at the centre of the every major event of the last few decades, including but not limited to: 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, 7/7 bombings, the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand, the Grenfell fire and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Her sensitive and profoundly moral book explores how human beings can preserve their resilience and live with loss.
