Environmental Justice and Natural Disasters/COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall Meetings
The Federal Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice hosted three virtual regional town hall meetings to gain a better understanding of how natural disasters and COVID-19 impact minority, low-income, overburdened, and underserved communities. This resource highlights how the federal government can better provide support to these communities to prepare and respond to their needs before, during, and after a disaster. This resource includes:
- Town hall agendas and summaries
- Outcomes
- Resources shared on disaster preparedness and response training
Recommended for community members and local government officials who are responsible for making decisions regarding disaster preparedness at a community level.
