About This Episode
As the frequency of climate disasters increases, the cumulative impacts of environmental, economic, and social problems make the burdens and effects of these disasters and the recovery process worse for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and people with lower incomes. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Cristina Muñoz de la Torre, Senior Researcher at Just Solutions, exploring the nuances of disaster resilience and its specific implications for BIPOC-Frontline communities. Dr. Muñoz de la Torre sheds light on the recent changes in disaster funding and how they may fall short of addressing the needs of BIPOC communities. Join us in this insightful discussion as we uncover the challenges, potential solutions, and the importance of inclusive disaster preparedness and recovery strategies.
