Join us for this hands-on working session to learn about the NEW and IMPROVED “Emergency Planning Guide for Community-Based Organizations” just released this spring by CADRE.  This session will provide participants with an overview of this new guidance tool — including Why Emergency Planning is Important, How to Use the Guide, and then facilitated working group conversations with your peers to help agencies become stronger, more resilient and disaster- ready.  Focus will be on supporting community-based planning amongst CADRE network members.

Bring your own Agency’s planning documents and join us for this interactive session to work on:

• Conducting an agency self-assessment on disaster resilience
• Hierarchy of Organizational Preparedness for Nonprofits
• Disaster and Emergency Planning Elements and how to approach strengthening your own organization’s disaster resilience
• What’s working, successes and challenges CADRE member agencies are facing as we work to improve disaster readiness for our community
