Human City

Laura Clemons is the CEO of Collaborative Communities and a Certified Floodplain Manager. She sits right at the crest of disasters, placemaking, policy, and community engagement. Laura is a master at disaster recovery and brings her unique background at FEMA and in urbanism to craft a new approach to how we attack ever present disasters. She has an unmatched passion and grit to truly saving communities. Laura currently helps cities throughout the United States with disasters through both mitigation and response before or after serious damage. In this episode we talk about the real effects disasters can have on your community, how urbanism is useful before and after disasters, how to hack FEMA, and what you can do now for your city to avoid the long lasting harm.
