Equitable Disaster Recovery

All Texas families should be able to fully recover from disasters, and all communities should be protected from future disasters. The communities that are most vulnerable to and hardest hit by disasters are too often less affluent communities and communities of color that have fewer resources to recover and have not received equal investment in basic infrastructure and public services. Texas Appleseed works to ensure that all Texans have equitable access to disaster recovery and protection from natural and man-made disasters. Texas Appleseed has worked on disaster recovery issues since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
