Bridging the Preparedness Divide: A Framework for Health Equity in Ontario's Emergency Management Programs
Description:
This paper will demonstrate that it is both critical and possible for these two trends – attention to equity in health planning, and an increased capacity to address emergencies – to be connected. It will argue that the most vulnerable and health disadvantaged communities are most threatened during emergencies, and that commitments made between emergencies ought not to be put aside in times of crisis. Rather, there is no time when these commitments are more important.
