A panel discussion at the Royal Geographical Society exploring how communities experience, understand and respond to disaster risk. It examines why some people and places are more exposed than others, drawing on research into vulnerability, resilience and environmental hazards, from volcanic eruptions and floods to climate-related emergencies. The speakers are Professor Amy Donovan of the University of Cambridge, Dr Tracey Coates of Kingston University and Dr Sophie Blackburn of the University of Reading. The discussion is chaired by BBC News presenter Martine Croxall, a Fellow of the Society.
