  • Summary

  • We are living in an age of increasingly frequent storms, floods, and fires, but our country treats each one almost like it’s a surprise — cobbling together a response without a robust national infrastructure in place. Kate and Nashia discuss their experiences with disaster relief and storms in the ER — on the homefront and abroad. They chat with Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, former president of the New York Nurses Association, about how she makes health care accessible in the aftermath of a disaster. By the end of the episode, Kate and Nashia sign up to save the world.
