Planning For Resilience: Disaster Response Toolkit

Download the toolkit here.

There has never been a more critical time for companies to take a proactive, strategic approach to supporting all phases of the disaster cycle.

More than $11.9 billion was contributed for COVID-19 globally in the first half of 2020. Corporations accounted for nearly two thirds of the funding ($7.8 billion), which included both cash and in-kind support. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurricane Harvey was the largest recipient of disaster philanthropy in recent years, with $342,771,699 contributed.

B:CIVIC developed this Strategic Disaster Response Toolkit to support businesses in their efforts to effectively respond to all types of disasters and build resiliency in our community. We hope these effective strategies help inform and educate your disaster response strategies.
