Storms of change: navigating the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Milton

Over the last few weeks we have seen Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton all over the news. We may have family or friends there, or even live nearby ourselves. New Englanders have never experienced such hurricanes. This episode will help those of us who haven’t experienced these storms understand the destruction and the recovery process. It will educate us on the topic and provide ways to help. We will hear personal anecdotes from students, individuals whose homes were destroyed, and from a police chief in Florida. We will hear what Boston University has done to help and will continue to do to help our fellow Floridians through these difficult times. Where can I donate?
