Welcome to Be The Solution podcast, brought to you by the University of Utah's College of Social and Behavioral Science. This week our host Elizabeth Johnson will be joined by Professor of Geography, Dr. Tom Cova, to look at the recent wildfire in Lahaina, Hawaii, to explore the causes, the impacts to the local community and people, and how this fire shares similarities to other destructive fires in recent memory. Professor Cova’s research interests include environmental hazards, emergency management, transportation, and geographic information science. More specifically, Professor Cova has long-running interests in wildfire warning and evacuation systems, which have been a critical point of discussion around the situation in Hawaii. We hope you enjoy this conversation!
