Disaster Equity: Preparedness, Response, and Recovery for LGBTQIA+ Patients of Health Centers (2024). Resource Type: Publication. Description: Climate change and natural disasters pose substantial threats to communities, the effects of which are exacerbated by inequalities in vulnerable populations—particularly those with intersectional marginalized identities (e.g., LGBTQIA+ people who are Black, Indigenous, and/or have a disability) and are disproportionately affected by chronic disease.
