Climate change threatens to widen the myriad inequities people with disabilities already experience. Policymakers, emergency managers, and local leaders need more evidence and robust strategies for disability-forward climate and disaster resilience planning and investments designed with equity in mind. To support these goals, we scanned programs, resources, and organizations addressing intersecting vulnerabilities related to disability, rural disasters, and climate change and reviewed disability and rural eligibility criteria in key federal climate and disaster programs. We also held conversations with disabled people with lived expertise, national experts and local practitioners in disability health and disaster equity, climate change and disaster researchers, emergency managers, and rural community development experts about how to address planning and policy gaps. This brief reviews the evidence on climate- and disaster-related challenges affecting people with disabilities in rural communities and presents five corresponding opportunities to address them.
