The devastating impacts of recent wildfires, Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma vividly demonstrate the urgency of community needs and the long-term nature of recovery. They also remind us that we need to prepare for the risks we face in the Bay Area and, for those funders that provide support beyond our local area, to be ready to respond strategically to disaster needs elsewhere.
In this first session on disaster planning, we will hear from two philanthropic leaders about the disaster plans of their institutions – their plans to support communities, recover their own operations, and collaborate with other funders. Our speakers will share planning lessons from multiple disasters in the Monterey area in recent years, the devastating flood which struck Cedar Rapids in 2008, and recurrent hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. We also hope to include a philanthropic leader from the Houston area or Florida who can share initial planning insights from responding to the catastrophic flooding there.
