Partners In Disaster
Mission Statement: Collaborate before, during, and after disasters to meet community needs through shared resources and efforts.
Our mission is to bring partners together before, during, and after a disaster to ensure effective and efficient responses. We leverage combined resources and efforts to meet the needs of our community.
Partners in Disaster is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting community partners in collaborating with emergency management professionals, non-government partners and community leaders. This initiative enables private industry, community groups, faith-based organizations, and individuals to work together efficiently and effectively to address community needs during times of disaster.
The services are free. This is a totally non-profit organization with the the goal of having entire transparency from conception throughout the expansion. Please refer to our page called "Where the Donations Go" for an accurate detailing of the monies invested and spent. Donors identities will be kept anonymous unless it is permitted to share by the donor, however individual donation amounts and the tribal nation or city and state where the donation was generated will be shared. Each individual expense amount will be shared. This is a collaborative space. Please let me know if you have ideas on how the donations can be stretched further, or if there are items we've paid for that you feel could be acquired for less.
WHO WE ARE
People with an ideology to agree on creating solutions, navigating unmet needs together and collaborating to satisfy them
We are community individuals working with neighbors, small businesses, faith-based organizations, civic groups, schools, government partners, and all who can contribute to the needs of our community when it is affected by a disaster.
Our focus is on bringing individuals from every part of our community together, empowering everyone, to contribute to the support of those who need it.
We plan before a disaster occurs to determine how each individual in a community can support the efforts. We respond to the immediate needs during a disaster response by utilizing our individual skills and knowledge to empower and serve the whole. We support recovery efforts of those who were affected by the disaster.
That happens by coming together before disasters impact our communities, planning how we can respond together, and utilizing tools to develop an efficient process when activated.
