\nThis year's One Maryland One Book selection\, \;What Storm\, What Thunder by Myriam J. A. Chancy\, \;shines a harsh light on the r eality of natural disasters. It brings into question what one should do as an individual\, as a family\, and as a community\, and what we owe to oth ers in the face of catastrophe. While disasters on this scale are impossib le to fully prepare for\, communities across the world should know what to do when the unthinkable threatens to upend daily life. One Maryland One B ook is a program of Maryland Humanities.
