Haley Salmon

Haley Salmon is the The Intelligence correspondent quoted in Fault lines: Venezuela’s paltry earthquake response on Venezuela’s earthquake response. Her segment links public anger to the first 48 hours after the disaster, when many Venezuelans felt abandoned by the state.

Her reporting makes the episode’s disaster politics concrete: shortages of machinery, fuel, medical capacity, and organized help are not treated as isolated logistics problems, but as evidence of deeper Disaster Response State Capacity decay.
