Disaster preparedness: safeguarding access to quality healthcare after floods
During major floodings, relentless streams of water endanger peopleās lives at home, disrupting roads and infrastructure and rendering hospitals inaccessible. When that happens, other hospitals need to cover a larger area and a greater influx of patients, like during the Covid-19 pandemic. Risks that emerge are damages to water supply and illnesses due to stagnant water. This is where prevention of floodings and pandemics are interrelated. Maria Pregnolato and Bas Jonkman, both active members of the 4TU.Resilience Engineering community, contribute to a new research project with their expertise in floods and water management, adding another relevant perspective to disaster and pandemic preparedness.Ā

Transdisciplinary approaches for co-producing Resilience Assessment
On Wednesday 13 June we welcomed 23 enthusiastic researchers to our workshop on transdisciplinary approaches to co-producing resilience assessments. This time we were joined by some new faces from WUR as we organised a combination with a lunch seminar. Hosting the lunch seminar proved to be very beneficial for establishing new connections and hopefully future collaborations.
