Overview

Preliminary study assesses definitions and value of social equity among local emergency managers, suggesting further research needs.

Key Points

  • Local emergency managers reported varied definitions of social equity, highlighting the need for clearer guidelines.
  • The national survey revealed that many emergency managers see social equity as crucial, but lack resources to effectively implement it.
  • Findings suggest that emergency management education must incorporate social equity to address local vulnerabilities more effectively.
  • Further research is needed to establish standardized practices for integrating social equity in emergency management operations.
