TOPIC:  Disaster Cycle Services Mission Adaptation Program Update
PRESENTER:  Anne Palmer, Executive Director, Operations Policy &      Mission Adaptation

Tens of millions of families throughout the U.S., many of whom are facing the threat of poverty, are at risk of being forced from their homes due to an increasing number of extreme weather disasters. Tragically, the rapidly accelerating pace of climate displacement is having a disproportionate impact on our most vulnerable communities that lack the resources needed to cope. As the nation’s largest provider of emergency sheltering, we know that extreme weather events exacerbate existing societal challenges—such as food insecurity, health care access, and the conditions and availability of housing—especially for the most vulnerable. These 3Hs—Hunger, Health, and Housing —are the focus of the Mission Adaptation Program. The Mission Adaptation Program is being launched to provide jurisdiction-wide support in eight counties/parishes across the country selected for social vulnerability and natural hazard risk factors.
