 What happens after the floodwaters recede? For individuals living with autoimmune conditions like lupus, the real storm often begins once the skies clear. In this episode of Lupus Has No Face Podcast, host Savannah Burks sits down with community organizer and activist Vaun Mayes, founder of Community Task Force MKE and Program The Parks MKE. Together, they explore the overlooked health challenges natural disasters create for people with chronic and autoimmune conditions. From exposure to mold and fungi in damaged homes to difficulties accessing life-saving medications and professional care, Savannah and Vaun unpack how disasters magnify existing vulnerabilities. They also discuss how stress, poor sanitation, and disrupted healthcare services can trigger flare-ups or even lead to new chronic conditions. This conversation sheds light on the hidden costs of natural disasters—and the urgent need for communities to rally around those most at risk.
