Idaho is one of the most unique states in the United States due to its shape, size, terrain, and multiple people groups and communities. Any area of the 83,569 square miles could be subject to a weather change in minutes. Disaster Preparedness is a necessary tool all Idahoans should have access to and at Intermountain Fair Housing Council we’ve gathered materials and resources into one location to ensure we all have access to fair housing even when a disaster is present.
In Idaho, you could experience earthquakes, wind events, severe winter weather, flooding, wildfire/smoke exposure, and extreme heat. These and other natural disasters could affect your access to fair housing. The IFHC Disaster Preparedness Guide details information, precautions, and steps for preparing for, surviving, and recovering from natural disasters that affect housing situations. This guide endeavors to help people understand their fair housing rights during natural disasters and the resources that can help them before, during, and after a natural disaster event.
