PREPAREDNESS
DISASTER SANITATION
You Survive the Earthquake But Die of Dysentery MERILEE KARR, M.D. The course is subtitled “You Survive the Earthquake But Die of Dysentery” for several reasons. The absurd conjunction of life, death, and a role-play game breaks down barriers to thinking about an important but undelightful topic. Second, dysentery and other infections accompany most disasters, and often do far more harm than the catastrophe itself. This class saves lives. The course covers how mass infections work, the difference between pee and poo, and actions such as building simple toilet stations and incentivizing your sanitation work crew.
