What I've Learnt - Dr. Alison Thompson OAM (2025)

WHAT I'VE LEARNT

Third Wave Volunteers are now in full deployment, with volunteer firefighters in Los Angeles battling the fires and our local volunteers doing what they can to assist. This will all unfold over the following months.
Third Wave Volunteers have been disaster responders for the past 24 years and were founded at the Sept 11th, 2001 attacks in NYC by Dr. Alison Thompson.

A brave Australian Dr Allison Thompson joins me from the frontlines in LA where her team is assisting the ravaged communities with food water clothing medicines and support in any way they can.

They have grown to over 30,000 first responder volunteers running large refugee camps, field hospitals, and natural disasters worldwide for the past 24 years (including the Syrian, Afghan, Venezuelan, and Ukraine refugee crises.)

They have worked for the past 4 months in the North Carolina disaster with long-term ongoing work, as well as in Ukraine, and building water wells in the Nth Colombia desert for the Wayuu tribes.

Now they are in the heart of California and Dr Allison joins us for a deep dive podcast with updates insights and an overview of what they're doing and what they need so stay tune @thirdwavevolunteers
