Building Resilient Communication in Disasters

President Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump have visited central Texas today to survey where flash floods killed 120 people last weekend.

As search teams continue to search for more than 160 people still missing, Mr Trump and his wife met families affected by the floods and first responders.

Dr Sam Brody, Director of the Institute for Disaster Resilient Texas and a Professor at Texas A&M University discusses how disasters like this might be avoided in the future.

Also on the programme, what impact could the 35% tariffs for Canada announced by Trump yesterday have on businesses there and why the post-covid trend of converting office buildings to homes is gathering momentum in New York.
