When Climate Disasters Strike, Women Face More Than Just the Storm
Authentically Disasterous The Podcast 
The storm isn’t the only threat.
💥💔💜❤🔥💜❤🩹💥
When disasters hit—whether it’s a hurricane, wildfire, or heatwave—rates of domestic violence skyrocket. Women already living in dangerous situations are often forced into even more vulnerable conditions: unsafe shelters, isolation, displacement, and a complete loss of control over their environment.
📈 Studies show domestic violence increases by up to 53% after disasters, yet emergency planning rarely includes gender-specific safety measures.
🧠 This isn’t just about individual behavior—it’s a failure of systems. Climate change is deepening gender-based harm, and we must start planning for that reality.
🌀💜 Survivor safety IS climate resilience.
🔗 We’re working to change the way disaster response is done—starting with awareness and survivor-centered solutions.
👉 Share this reel to break the silence.
✍️ Drop a 💜 if this resonates or if you’ve ever felt unsafe in a crisis.
📣 Tell us: What do you think emergency shelters and response plans are missing?
