IRDR staff have been making numerous media appearances on the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19). The topics range from prevention, preparedness, and emergency management for a pandemic to the international political effects, the consequences of lockdown, and digital epidemiology.

David Alexander has been quoted in the New Statesman, The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, and many more, along with several television appearances on Al Jazeera and Sky News. Ilan Kelman (jointly appointed with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Institute for Global Health) has written several blogs and was quoted in The Express, The Telegraph, and the New York Times, while appearing on Sky News and the BBC. Both also did several radio interviews and podcasts. Meanwhile, Patty Kostkova was quoted in Scientific American and Knowable Magazine.

This is part of IRDR’s mandate of ensuring that science serves society. We have a duty to ensure that our research generates messages to help everyone during, and preferably before, disasters. We hope we can continue working with all media to continue informing us all about the value of risk and disaster reduction work.
