Reclaiming Recovery: People-Centered Disaster Preparedness

​In September 2019, The Bahamas experienced the devastation of category five Hurricane Dorian. In October 2025, category five Hurricane Jamaica devastated Jamaica. As recovery efforts continue, it is becoming increasingly clear that people experience climate disaster differently. Women and girls, people with disabilities, LGBTQI+ people, elderly people, migrant people, and people experiencing poverty are among those who are disproportionately affected by disruption in electricity and water supply, displacement, loss of identity documents, and loss of employment.

​Yemi Knight and Kendria Ferguson will engage us in conversation about disaster preparedness and the measures we need to take to ensure that it is inclusive, considering the specific circumstances of people who are situations of vulnerability and increased risk.
