Episode 42: SVG Relief (with Kimya Glasgow)

Episode 42: SVG Relief
​For this week's episode I am joined once again by Vincentian
designer Kimya Glasgow.  Unfortunately, this time we are not
talking about fashion, but instead about La Soufriere Volcano. La
Soufriere , though an active volcano, had been rather silent from
1979 to December of 2020, when an effusive eruption began. 
On April 9th following a few days of increased activity an
explosive eruption began. Join Kimya and me as we discuss the
current conditions in SVG as well as what individuals can do to
help. (Recorded: April 20th, 2021). 

Since that time, from April 22nd to today (May 1), the seismic
activity has remained low but the alert level is still red. Added
to this already critical situation, 2 days ago, following
unusually heavy rainfall, the island was also faced with the fast
moving rocks, ash, vegetation, and water (lahars) coming down
from the volcano causing even more flooding, mudslides and
infrastructure damages. Please visit this week’s show page for
ways to help support relief efforts in SVG.
