I can really recommend Lucy Easthope’s memoir “When the Dust Settles.” Lucy - a world-leader in disaster recovery - gives insights into past disasters and offers personal and important advice for disaster recovery. A great read, @LucyGoBag - a perfect book for Easter vacation.

Yesterday, the @NSMassCasualty released its final report on the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in 2020. It consists of 7 volumes of reports. I was really impressed that its Executive Summary starts with 34 pages that commemmorates the victims. More info: masscasualtycommission.ca/fi…
