Non-Discrimination in disaster response (2007 Tabasco floods)

This film chronicles the relief efforts of the Mexican Red Cross following the floods in Tabasco, Mexico in October of 2007 when over 1 million people were left homeless.

Vulnerable groups such as the elderly and disabled are often neglected after disasters and are therefore, doubly affected.

The film highlights the importance of prioritizing these often invisible groups and recognizing the important contribution that they can make in preparing for and responding to disasters.
