A call to revamp disaster response

As the CEO and President of Canadian Red Cross, Conrad Sauve (IMHL’14) has a front-row seat to how climate change continues to wreak havoc through massive floods and extreme droughts. In a new episode of “The Current” podcast, Sauve advocates for a greater emphasis on disaster recovery in addition to emergency responses. From his perspective, a robust disaster response should include ongoing financial and social support for people who are rebuilding their lives, not just short-term supports.
