The Disaster Preparedness Fund provides resources to community-based organizations to prepare for disasters and reduce risk to lives and livelihoods. Investing in preparedness and risk reduction shields communities from the immense stress and harm of enduring the full brunt of a disaster. Your contribution will support efforts such as climate adaptation, anticipatory action and building community resilience.
Thank you for helping communities prepare for disasters!
