Regardless of whether your mission centers on education, healthcare, childcare, or another critical area, every organization will eventually face the challenges of a disaster. Patty emphasizes the importance of funders recognizing this reality. Equip yourself with the knowledge, build strong partnerships, and ensure your organization is ready to respond when disaster strikes your community.

As 2024 comes to an end and we begin 2025, we are grateful for everyone in our community working daily to ensure equitable, long-term recovery from disaster for communities across our country and around the world.

Natural hazards are increasing in frequency and severity, and when they affect a vulnerable community, a disaster occurs. Recovery can’t be just about immediate relief, it must also include the long-term work to ensure communities are able to withstand the next disaster and recover equitably when they occur. In this season of giving, we hope that you will join us in our work to support equitable disaster recovery. https://lnkd.in/e67Y2Qs6
