Supporting Equitable Access to Emergency Preparedness Resources for Mothers in Mississippi

Mississippi has experienced a series of devastating natural, systemic, and environmental disasters that have required immediate action, sometimes leaving the very unique needs of pregnant and postpartum women unmet. This project will focus on responding to current and emerging needs of pregnant and postpartum women in Mississippi through the development and distribution of community resource boxes that provide basic needs for families. This project will also focus on ensuring that providers that encounter pregnant and postpartum women have the knowledge and understanding of how to provide equitable emergency response through educational training.
