AT&T released findings from a University of Georgia research effort on March 25, where studies of Athens-Clarke County found that Black, Hispanic and low-income communities had 38% to 185% higher flood risk compared to the average risk.  In 2019, AT&T began a Climate Resiliency Community Challenge, an effort to help communities in the southeastern United States build resilience to climate change by funding local universities, including the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology, to conduct projects in assessing climate risks and aiding local governments in climate adaptation and resilience planning. AT&T announced in February 2020 that both UGA and Georgia Tech would be given $50,000 to conduct their research. Using these donations and data commissioned by AT&T from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, the universities looked to tackle local climate impacts and their community responses, according to an email from AT&T.
