With a region as geographically diverse as King County, it can be ✨ complicated ✨ to activate Severe Weather Protocols. Sometimes, we have to make the hard decision to NOT activate—but that doesn’t mean we aren’t working to support impacted regions. https://lnkd.in/grphugPH

Dean, a longtime Burien resident who spent the last several years unhoused in his hometown, now has a place to call home again at DESC (Downtown Emergency Service Center)'s Bloomside supportive housing program. “I hope that no one ever has to experience what it is like to walk up to a crosswalk and not know which button to push. Sometimes I would just break down and cry because I didn’t have a place to go, and I was so tired. Now, I have a place to go, and with purpose.” https://lnkd.in/ef4g3JTZ

Renters are often more vulnerable to long-lasting negative impacts of natural disasters. "A growing body of research warns that renters are particularly vulnerable after disasters, in part because they are less likely to have relevant insurance and may not receive adequate assistance from the government in the immediate aftermath.... Many renters have less wealth, and receive less government assistance after disasters, than homeowners, and suffer more severe and long-term financial impacts as a result.” From NPR: https://lnkd.in/eJ8hbWfD
