In this episode of Intentionally Act Now, Dr. S. Atyia Martin, CEO and Founder of All Aces, Inc., hosts special guest, Michael Berkowitz, founding principal of the Resilient Cities Catalyst (RCC). Together they connect the dots between the field of emergency management and why taking racial equity into account before, during, and in the wake of emergencies is critical in order to foster resilience.
As Dr. Martin and Michael explain, when communities are already vulnerable under everyday circumstances, emergencies impact those communities to a greater extent. If in calculating risk appropriately, racial equity is not taken into account, disaster can easily follow disaster.
