Data-Driven Approaches to Understanding Disaster Vulnerability and Advancing Equity

Tuesday, July 12, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. MDT

This forum will look to the data—what we have and what we need—to better understand what vulnerability and equity truly mean in the context of hazards and disasters. How do we define these concepts and how do we measure them? The way we collect, analyze, and report disaster impact and program data can either further injustice or begin to correct it. This forum will highlight where we advanced and where data gaps and blindspots remain. In an ever evolving field, this forum will encourage the audience to share what data they use in their work and what data we need.
