FEMA’s Equity Action Plan and Authority to Deliver – Insights for environmental and justice advocates. In this webinar, we were joined by Hannah Perls, Staff Attorney at Harvard’s Environmental & Energy Law & Cristina Muñoz De La Torre, Director of Programs Research at Just Solutions Collective to discuss FEMA’s impact and responsibility within environmental and climate justice. We broke down FEMA’s recently published Equity Action Plan and whether it will achieve equity for BIPOC and frontline communities. BIPOC and frontline advocates had the opportunity to discuss how their current programs can implement disaster resilience and leverage the webinar information for their advocacy.
