In episode 231 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons speaks with Robin Keegan, a nationally recognized leader in disaster recovery, resilience, and climate adaptation. With senior roles at FEMA and HUD during the Biden-Harris Administration—and a pivotal role in Louisiana's post-Katrina recovery—Robin brings unmatched insight into how federal recovery systems work, and more importantly, how they fail. As the current administration actively undermines the government's ability to prepare for and respond to climate disasters, Robin offers a frank assessment of what's at stake and what a truly equitable, climate-ready recovery system should look like. She also shares lessons from her time on the frontlines and how she's now helping communities adapt before the next crisis hits. It's a great episode focusing on community adaptation!
