Upcoming Webinar
Title: Health Equity in Emergency Preparedness and Response
Date and Time: October 23rd, 3pm-4:30pm EDT
Session Description: When preparing and responding to emergencies, it is crucial to embed health equity from the start to ensure that all people have equal access to life-saving information, services, and programs. Emergencies, such as a natural disaster or a pandemic, can have devastating impacts on whole communities. People in racial and ethnic minority communities, people with disabilities, people living in geographically isolated areas, and other groups often face systemic barriers and health disparities that are exacerbated during an emergency.
