How come FEMA thinks the peter puffers ''needs'' are a priority in disaster areas?
Here FEMA Emergency Management Specialist Tyler Atkins states that the agency was prioritizing individuals who consider themselves LGBTQ because he says they are ''already disadvantaged....they already have their own things to deal with. So you add a disaster on top of that, it’s just compounding on itself.”
After that, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Senior Emergency Management Specialist Maggie Jarry stated that instead of helping as many people as they can, FEMA should follow a policy of ''disaster equity'' that sees minority communities being given the priority...the shift that we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles where everything is designed for the greatest good, for the greatest amount of people to disaster equity.''
Do you agree with these statements and that FEMA should be so strategically biased in their designated role? If so, then why?
