Listen "The long-lasting physical and mental trauma of hurricanes"
Episode Synopsis
Trauma from natural disasters impacts Black communities in ways many of us never thought about it. In addition to causing PTSD, a recent study found that hurricanes are linked to a 33% increase of deaths long after the storm has passed. This comes as climate change disproportionately impacts Black communities. In this episode, we speak to residents in Ironton, Louisiana, one of the country's oldest Black communities, to learn how they've been impacted after living through hurricane after hurricane. We also speak to experts to learn about how these storms impact the body.
Guests include Audrey Trufant Salvant, Dr. Robbie Parks, Dr. Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, and Dr. Rebecca Schwartz.
