“Events like Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy were unlike any weather disasters before. They showed the world who suffers the most from the impacts of extreme weather: low-income families and communities of color.”

Meaning

This points to climate disaster as a social issue, not only a weather event. The quote reads as an insistence that extreme storms hit hardest where money and power are already scarce, so recovery is unequal from the start. It lands sharply in debates about disaster planning, housing, and environmental justice, especially when some neighborhoods are expected to rebuild with far fewer resources.
