This text describes how undocumented immigrants face unique challenges during disasters due to their status. They often can't access relief and fear deportation, which adds another layer of risk. Despite these challenges, they create their own preparedness plans by organizing documents and support networks. These strategies show resilience and offer lessons for disaster planners. Including undocumented communities in planning can improve safety for all by ensuring everyone has a voice in the process. The text calls for rethinking disaster preparedness to include marginalized groups as climate-related disasters become more frequent and severe.
