Join Tuesday’s (June 24) national HoUSed campaign call from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET. The call will feature an overview and analysis from the Disaster Housing Recovery, Research, and Resilience (DHR) team on the changes we've seen so far in the disaster recovery ecosystem and how communities are navigating housing recovery during hurricane season.

NLIHC’s Director of Disaster Recovery, Noah Patton, will share an overview the latest updates and information, and what they foreshadow about the advocacy fights ahead and the actions communities need to take to get prepared for hurricane season in the meantime. We will be joined by the Union of Concerned Scientists to share an overview of the impacts recent changes have had on the National Weather Service and what that means moving forward. Representatives from the Red Cross will discuss their efforts to prepare and preposition resources for the start of this hurricane season. Next, Abre’ Conner, Director of the Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at the NAACP, will discuss how they’re working with their local chapters to ensure communities are ready for disasters. Then, Shaylin Sluzalis and Germán Parodi, Co-Executive Directors at Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, will talk about the intersection of disability and disaster preparedness and recovery, including their Disability & Disaster hotline. Finally, Jena Garren, Regional Coordinator with Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, will discuss the important role mutual aid plays in disaster preparedness and recovery.
