From RAND: Assessing Racial Equity in Disaster Management. The RAND Corporation performed a literature review and exploratory study on racial equity, and how disasters can magnify the challenges already present for diverse community members. According to the report, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made an effort to address racial inequity in their mission statement, but lack the proper resources to follow through and make a meaningful impact.
