Remembering the Loma Prieta Earthquake on its 33rd Anniversary (Recast)

We are remembering the Loma Prieta Earthquake which took place on October 17, 1989 in Watsonville, California, by recasting our original podcast. You will hear about the fundamentals of disaster preparedness, response, and recovery particularly for vulnerable communities.  Our podcast features Interviews with medical providers and Watsonville community leaders who responded immediately after the earthquake; these local heroes provide their first-hand oral histories of the creative steps they took to quickly outreach to and serve farmworkers.

Understanding the long-term impact of disasters/pandemics reminds us of the transformation that can happen when people work together to prepare for and respond to the needs of vulnerable groups. HealthCare UnTold dedicates this podcast to those who work tirelessly everyday to improve conditions in and empower their communities.
