What disasters from Loma Prieta to Napa to Hurricane Sandy teach us is that everything that funders have done to address important issues from health to education to the safety net can disappear in seconds, minutes and sometimes days.
How do funders prepare communities and organizations for disasters and ensure that institutions and social supports can recover quickly? How can we as funders help kids get back to schools, families back to work, communities fed and nurtured, prevent buildings from collapsing and infrastructure from imploding.
Using the lens of Loma Prieta, Napa, Katrina, Sandy and other disasters we'll talk about the role of philanthropy and nonprofit in preparing for, responding to, and mitigating disasters and how we can help communities get back to "normal."
Co-sponsored by The San Francisco Foundation and Walter & Elise Haas Fund
