Lucy Easthope – Come What May

Lucy Easthope is the UK’s leading authority on recovering from disaster and author of the bestselling When the Dust Settles. She has been an advisor for nearly every major disaster of the past two decades, including the 2004 tsunami, 9/11, the Salisbury poisonings, Grenfell, the Covid-19 pandemic and most recently the war in Ukraine. She has been present after countless earthquakes, fires and floods. She has witnessed how people rebuild: the work, the pitfalls and the fragile joy, all of which she shares in her new book, Come What May, Lucy offers a roadmap for resilience in the face of adversity
