EXCERPT:

ATKINS: "... sparked a few things in my mind, thinking about preparedness and how you said, you know, LGBTQIA people and people who have been disadvantaged already are struggling. They already have their own things to deal with. So you add a disaster on top of that, it's just compounding on itself. And I think that is maybe the why, why we're having these discussions, because it isn't being talked about, it isn't being socialized. We're not paying attention to this community.”
