A decade has passed since Super Typhoon Haiyan's devastation. The mass media spotlight has long shifted to other disasters. In a region regularly battered by storms, what is the importance of talking about the lessons from one particular event? This episode, we’ll hear different voices discussing the role of preserving the stories of Yolanda to foster a culture of preparedness for present and future generations. We’ll also learn about different visions and aspirations for resilient shelter, and hear about the roles of culture and ritual in collective healing from the trauma brought by the storm.
