LGBTQ+社区在美国有1600万人，但这一群体往往在灾害政策中被忽视。联邦救灾计划的偏见，对LGBTQ+家庭的缺乏认可，以及基于信仰的组织在救灾服务中的普遍存在，共同加剧了LGBTQ+个人面临的风险。这篇评论文章描述了这种情况与LGBTQ+社区的背景脆弱性相结合的方式，现有的不平等和边缘化在灾害期间及其后果中加剧。因此，灾难的直接创伤，如身体伤害或亲人或财产的损失，对LGBTQ+个人来说，以多种方式加剧，使他们不太可能从救灾服务中受益。为了解决这些不平等问题，我们总结了一系列政策建议，以告知预防，缓解和恢复规划，以及减少影响LGBTQ+个人的灾害的影响。本文受版权保护。All rights reserved.
LGBTQ+ communities comprise 16 million individuals in the United States, yet this population is often rendered invisible within disaster policies. Bias in federal disaster response programs, lack of recognition of LGBTQ+ families, and the prevalence of faith-based organizations in disaster relief services together heighten the risks that LGBTQ+ individuals face. This review article describes the ways in which this combines with the contextual vulnerability of LGBTQ+ communities, whereby existing inequalities and marginalization are exacerbated during disasters and in their aftermath. As a result, the immediate trauma of a disaster, such as physical injury or loss of loved ones or possessions, is compounded in multiple ways for LGBTQ+ individuals, making them less likely to benefit from disaster relief services. To address these inequalities, we conclude our review with a set of policy recommendations to inform prevention, mitigation, and recovery planning, as well as reduce the impacts of disasters affecting LGBTQ+ individuals.
