Okay.

That's what I figured.

Just constantly mad.

Certainly, everything about disasters is injustice manifesting.

who is affected most directly by disasters, which communities are affected and what ways they're affected, their ability to prepare for disasters, their ability to mitigate disasters, their ability to recover, their ability to literally survive disasters.

All of this is tied to policies that are shaped by race, class, gender, and all of those inequalities come out in the middle of a disaster.

You know, those inequalities exist in all four phases, but of course it's during the response that they are kind of most visible and in everyone's face.
