From Main Street America
Climate change and climate change-related disasters are an important and pressing issue: their impacts are harmful, accelerating, and disproportionately harm BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) communities. As of June 2024, 68% of designated Main Street districts are located within census tracts identified as climate vulnerable. We have an urgent need to understand local risks, create plans to mitigate their impacts, and respond to events as they occur.
Created in partnership with the National Parks Service through the Main Street Community Disaster Preparedness and Resilience Program, this publication is designed to help Main Streets and commercial district organizations better prepare for and respond to more frequent and severe disasters.
