Disaster Preparedness & Response

• Will your foundation's operations be interrupted if a major earthquake or other significant local disaster strikes?


• Do your staff and volunteers know what to do if a disaster strikes during the workday?


• Have you assessed the safety of your building in a disaster such as a major earthquake?


• Do you know how you will communicate with your staff, board of directors, and grantees after a disaster?


• Do you have plans for helping grantees recover from a disaster?

Use this toolkit to:

• Prepare your foundation's internal operations and space in case of a disaster


• Help your grantees and community prepare for a disaster


• Know what to do when a disaster hits


• Prepare your foundation to provide grants in response to a disaster

When disaster hits, be ready
