Welcome to Grey Skies – a podcast where you can learn about a disaster, what caused it, and how the world changed because of it. Oh, and how to prepare for and protect yourself from one just like it, because anxiety. Since I was a kid, I have been intrigued by everything that is far from your typical dinner table conversation: True crime, serial killers, the holocaust, and of course natural disasters. After a two year long valiant effort to get admitted into my university's motion picture college, I was sucked back into both the worlds of abnormal brains and of disasters (thank the lord). But after a certificate in Emergency Management & Homeland Security, a bachelor's in Psychology, and a master's in International Disaster Management, I couldn't help but feel the overwhelming feeling of not knowing enough. Surely after researching a disaster and every bit of information that surrounds it, for weeks on end I will not only be smarter but also be able to survive a 100ft tsunami wave…right?
The day after Christmas isn't when you think a tsunami would hit, but natural disasters don't happen on your schedule. This disaster took 230,000 lives and left thousands of others to deal with the aftermath. In this episode I talk about the damage the tsunami caused, how it was so incredibly powerful, and research that looks at the differences in the mental health provision that was given to locals and tourists.
