                              New Tools    **June 2023, HHS and partners**, “Equitable Disaster Recovery Assessment Guide & Checklist” (PDF),

The Assessment Guide and Checklist serves as tactical, practical, applicable resources for STTL practitioners on how to reduce disparities in post-disaster outcomes in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation/gender identity. This effort is the result of a Post-Disaster Equity Pilot Project spearheaded by HHS and FEMA in Region 5 (EDA’s Chicago Region). It brought together federal, state, local, and NGO partners to directly tackle the persistent pattern that indicates within the post-disaster recovery period, pre-event health and economic disparities for communities of color, women, and LGBTQ+ people are exacerbated.
