Low-income communities are hit hard by extreme weather because they lack the resources required to evacuate and deal with the effects, says a new report from the Center for American Progress.

- Fairly distributing CDBG-DR funds to low-income communities
- Protecting households against extreme temperatures and floods
- Developing fair plans for post-disaster debris removal
