Lucy Easthope Come What May

The leading expert in recovery and emergency planning, and author of the bestselling When the Dust Settles, brings her uplifting guide to navigating the hard times in all our lives. After experiencing the fall out of countless earthquakes, fires and floods, she has observed how people rebuild: the work, the pitfalls and the fragile joy. She’ll explain what shape a recovery journey might take, how to triage your life in an emergency, how to plan for ‘the slump’ (also known as the lasagne phase), how to take stock of what has happened to you, how to watch out for ‘learned helplessness’, and what good (and bad) help looks like.
