These hazards-from hurricanes to the loss of a major employer-can be foreseeable or unpredictable, natural or human-made, acute or long-term, local or global. Housing & community development, land & zoning, economic and housing planning, policies, historical investments and practices have contributed to the uneven distribution of risks and disproportionate impact of these hazards-hitting the most divided, marginalized, and distressed communities hardest. Conversely, these same tools can increase a household's and a community's resilience-strengthening their ability to assess, prepare for, and mitigate risks; adapt to changing conditions; and withstand or quickly recover from the disaster or disruptions climate and economic hazards can cause.
