EXPLORING THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN DEI AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
2/23/2025 6:30 pm
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential pillars in every sector. They also hold particular significance in emergency management. As we observe Black History Month, it is imperative to explore the intersection of DEI and emergency preparedness. Historically, marginalized communities, including Black Americans, have faced disproportionate impacts from natural disasters, pandemics, and other crises. Addressing these disparities requires intentional policies, equitable resource distribution, and community-driven solutions, all of which will be addressed here.
