Life on an Unpredictable Planet

January 11 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

A significant percentage of the world’s population lives with the threats posed by various natural hazards. Why do people choose to live in risky places? What are some of the psychological factors that affect their perceptions of risk and likelihood of preparing for potential disasters? What factors help in disaster recovery? Come hear local author Matt Davis answer these questions on Saturday, January 11 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, drawing on his research and experiences at Italy’s Mt. Vesuvius, Washington’s Mt. Rainier, in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and more. Please save your seat by registering for this event at plumblibrary.com/events-calendar.
