Friend or Foe? Technology, Hurricanes, and Marginalized Communities

Tuesday, July 11, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. MDT
Location: Interlocken A

Technology can elevate hurricane response and recovery, helping emergency personnel target evacuation messaging, locate people who need rescue or supplies, and connect survivors with resources after the event. But for some people—especially those who cannot afford technology or cannot access it due to language or location barriers—official reliance on these advances can limit resilience. This session will explore how we can capitalize on the promise of technology while ensuring that marginalized groups aren't further excluded during hurricanes and other natural hazards.
