I live on the Jersey Shore.
When Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, The FEMA aid was based on the value of your home.
That meant that the multimillion dollar beachfront mansions qualified for the most disaster relief.
The working poor who lived alongside flooded creeks and rivers were unable to recover

Exactly
Who is responsible for not having flood insurance? It's generally a requirement if your home is within a certain distance from a waterway.

No, equity is based on need
Wealthy black people do not qualify for equity
Poor white families do
That is not what Kamala meant by equity though and you know it.

FEMA’s Individual Assistance Program provides financial assistance and direct services to eligible individuals and households who have uninsured and underinsured necessary expenses and serious needs. The program is not a substitute for insurance and cannot pay for all losses caused by a disaster. It is intended to meet basic needs and help you get back on your feet. FEMA is not empowered to make you whole.
Disaster assistance may include grants to help pay for temporary housing, emergency home repairs for the primary residence, uninsured and underinsured personal property losses and medical, dental and funeral expenses caused by the disaster, along with other serious disaster-related expenses.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) offers low-interest disaster loans to businesses of all sizes, homeowners and renters. These disaster loans cover uninsured and uncompensated losses and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.
Insurance is your main source for money to put your life back in order after a disaster. It’s very important for you to contact your insurance agent and file your claim. If you have not, do so right away.
Insurance does not cover many expenses so disaster programs may be able to help. So, you should apply for assistance even if you have insurance if you have unmet needs that FEMA may find to be eligible.
Also, you should not wait for your insurance settlement to apply for a low-interest disaster loan from the SBA if you are referred to apply for one.

That is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever heard coming out of a human's mouth.
not true. We see with regularity that 'equity' is steered toward POC's

And it went to people who had mega mansions as second homes before it went to ordinary people.

VP Harris slammed for saying Hurricane Ian aid will be ‘based on equity’
“We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity,” Harris said Friday.
nypost.com
“If we want people to be in an equal place sometimes we need to take into account those disparities and do that work,” she added.
Vice President Harris came in for a torrent of criticism after telling an audience that “communities of color” would be first in line for relief in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
“We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity,” she said during a discussion with Priyanka Chopra at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Forum on Friday.

It's not that I didn't believe you, I had a doubt that the government would be that blatant. But, there it is, right on the fema website. Equity is the FOUNDATION of emergency management.
Ohhh they gotta go. This entire rot has to be plowed under.
