The second of two roundtables will focus on Response and Recovery for LGBTQI+ communities. In March, the first roundtable focused on Preparedness and Mitigation efforts for LGBTQI+ communities with a report from both roundtables to be published in June. The roundtable will identify: 1) What are existing activities that incorporate LGBTQI+ considerations into disaster preparedness? 2) What are the gaps in existing activities and 3) What are actionable and creative solutions to address these gaps?
