The experiences and needs of incarcerated people in disasters are often overlooked and ignored. This has led to enduring harm for incarcerated people, those who work in prisons and carceral facilities, and their families and communities. There are signficant opportunities to better understand what incarceration means for disaster risk—including how hazards impact the physical and social design of prison infrastructure. Formerly incarcerated participants and researchers will discuss how centering the experiences of incarcerated people can lead to better understanding the root causes of disasters and how to address them.
