1.6.3 Examine emergency policies to ensure they don't replicate the harms they are meant to address.

Examine changes in hastily-made, emergency policy to ensure the policies or their implementation don’t replicate the individual or community traumas people are trying to address. For example, domestic violence programs need to be particularly vigilant not to further control shelter residents’ movements in the name of safety, as that may re-trigger the trauma that brought them to the shelter.
