This week, we discuss the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. We dive in to the driving factors as to why the effects of this earthquake and so many others like it cause severe damage. Finally, we discuss the Cholera outbreak that happened less than a year following the earthquake, during a vulnerable time when many didn't have access to clean drinking water. Thanks for listening!
