Reparative planning through contextual vulnerabilities for disaster mitigation: a Gulf Coast case study

What is it about?

Disaster impacts compound historic and ongoing environmental racisms resulting in racialized disasters. Reparative planning when paired with participatory research can serve as a framework for addressing ongoing harms that result in ongoing disaster racism while building towards more equitable disaster mitigation. This paper discusses the intersection between disparate disaster impacts, environmental racism, compounding disasters, and the role of contextualizing vulnerability focusing on a case on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
