Advancing equity: Strategies, tactics, and best practices for disaster-impacted communities

This comprehensive toolkit is designed for advocates and organizers in communities that have experienced or are likely to experience climate change-induced disasters. It can be used to educate policymakers and the public about the systemic barriers to an equitable and complete disaster housing recovery, the long-term impacts of such barriers, the most prudent and important areas for improvement within the disaster recovery system.

This toolkit focuses on four key strategies - Organizing, Media, Legal, and Research - and includes best practices for national, state, and local organizations, along with examples organizations can directly replicate in their efforts. By utilizing similar and complimentary tactics and strategies, organizations working in different parts of the country can better coordinate their efforts and improve their work as we all continue to educate policymakers on the need for disaster recovery and resilience reform.
