From the New York Post: A startling 2023 FEMA webinar features federal health and disaster personnel trumpeting the urgent need to move away from policies that benefit the greatest number of people and instead turn focus toward “disaster equity” where aid is distributed based on innate characteristics like sexual orientation and gender identity.

The roundtable discussion, recorded in March of last year, was entitled “Helping LGBTQIA+ Survivors Before Disasters,” included panelists like Maggie Jarry of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and was moderated by Tyler Atkins, an Emergency Management Specialist at FEMA who uses he/they pronouns.

The panelists covered a range of topics around the notion that disaster services are short-changing marginalized groups when it comes to relief efforts.

“LGBTQIA people, and people who have been disadvantaged already, are struggling. They already have their own things to deal with. So when you add a disaster on top of that it’s just compounding on itself,” Atkins mused to the group.

A woman on the panel adds, “The shift we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principals where everything is designed for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people to disaster equity.”

FLASHBACK: A video has resurfaced from two years ago, as Kamala Harris brazenly declared that “equity” should be considered when relief efforts are assigned, and claimed that “communities of color are most impacted by these extreme conditions.”

Harris pushed the theory that everyone should end up at the same place, but noted they don’t all start out at the same place, so resources should be given based on equity. “If we want people to be in the same place, we have to take into account those disparities,” she said with a grin.
