The WHEJAC is also interested in receiving public comments relevant to
federal disaster preparedness and relief and community resilience. The
WHEJAC is seeking comments on the following questions:



   - What type of support is needed for disadvantage communities to
   participate in federal disaster preparedness or relief programs?
   - How can Federal disaster relief and aid programs better serve
   disadvantaged communities that have historically received fewer federal
   benefits?
   - What process steps and information would help eliminate these
   disparities?
   - What steps can Federal agencies and the White House take to reduce
   disparities in climate change impacts for communities, including, but not
   limited to risks from, extreme heat, flood, wildfire, drought, and coastal
   challenges.
