Disaster Resilience: A Unified Effort to Prepare for Disasters, Together<\/h1>\n
\n

When a disaster hits, we want every neighborhood in Miami to be able to spring into action and access resources immediately. The Disaster Resilience Fund is a\u00a0unified<\/strong> and proactive<\/strong> approach that will support disaster preparedness<\/em> and support equitable long-term recovery efforts.<\/p>\n

The Miami Disaster Resilience Fund is a unified and proactive approach that will support nonprofits working to advance disaster preparedness, provide grants for relief efforts to frontline grassroots organizations in advance of a disaster and invest in long-term equitable recovery. The Fund is a permanent, revolving fund that aims to raise $20 million to deploy grants in the following ways.<\/p>\n

Reports show<\/a> that for every $1 invested in community disaster preparedness, $6 in community savings is produced. The Fund is a permanent, revolving fund that aims to raise $20 millionto deploy grants in the following ways:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”32756″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=””]\n
