Last year, we felt the burn of 42 days of extreme heat and waded through six days of flash flooding. Thankfully, we were spared the destruction of hurricanes. But this year, we&#8217;re entering the season with a wider definition of the potential destruction this season brings with it.<\/p>\n<p>So, perhaps it\u2019s time to expand how we label May through November in Greater Miami. &#8220;Rainy season&#8221; rings true, but &#8220;hurricane season&#8221; only tells part of the story. Disaster season is perhaps the most fitting name for this time of year. It\u2019s high winds, intense storms, storm surges, flash flooding, and extreme heat all rolled up into one.<\/p>\n<p>And, by naming it, we can better prepare for what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami Foundation recently surveyed nonprofits in Greater Miami that support communities through disasters to understand the readiness of our nonprofit ecosystem. With each storm, Miami-Dade\u2019s nonprofits play a critical role in helping our communities prepare and recover. Given their close ties to residents, they are uniquely positioned to serve as \u201cfirst responders\u201d in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>In this first-of-its-kind data survey, we learned we have work to do to prepare for storms in Greater Miami. We found that only two out of every ten nonprofits in Greater Miami provide some type of disaster relief. Not surprisingly, nonprofits feel most prepared for hurricanes (71%). But as weather patterns change due to a warming climate, nonprofits and the clients they serve have a clear need for support beyond just hurricanes. When it comes to direct services, approximately 58% of non-profits distribute food, 47% provide education and training, 41% organize advocacy efforts and 21% provide mutual aid and mental health services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Nonprofit-Disaster-Readiness-in-Greater-Miami.pdf\">The 2024 Miami Foundation Disaster Preparedness Study<\/a> also found &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00b7More than half of the organizations surveyed report being unprepared for dangerous heat emergencies which are happening more frequently.<\/li>\n<li>Only 1 out of 10 nonprofits have the necessary resources to establish heat relief shelters or cooling centers when needed.<\/li>\n<li>Nonprofits who participated say they need funding (82%), volunteers (45%) and facilities\/space (39%) in the time of a storm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Largest-Constraints-for-Disaster-Services.png\" alt=\"&quot;The largest capacity constraints for nonprofits that provide disaster services: 82% Funding, 45% Volunteers, 39% Storage &amp; Space&quot;\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Largest-Constraints-for-Disaster-Services.png 1080w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Largest-Constraints-for-Disaster-Services-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Largest-Constraints-for-Disaster-Services-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Largest-Constraints-for-Disaster-Services-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As we become a more resilient community, we would benefit if more nonprofits were prepared for various disasters that can hit us during these months.<\/p>\n<h2>Taking Collective Action to Increase Disaster Preparedness<\/h2>\n<p>Reports show that for every $1 invested in community disaster preparedness, $6 in community savings is produced. Simply put, when we invest now, the payout in preparedness is exponential.<\/p>\n<p>So, how is Greater Miami collectively preparing for the myriad of disasters that face the region?<\/p>\n<p>Miami-Dade County has designated all public libraries as cooling centers, is planting trees throughout the County to provide much-needed shade, and is expanding its Annual Hurricane Preparedness Guide to include information about other types of disasters. The City of Miami is adopting a new heat strategy. Communities are developing a network of local hubs to serve as community-based relief shelters in the face of emergencies and natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41234 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TMF-Disaster-Readiness-Boxes.png\" alt=\"The Miami Foundation Disaster Readiness Boxes\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TMF-Disaster-Readiness-Boxes.png 1080w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TMF-Disaster-Readiness-Boxes-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TMF-Disaster-Readiness-Boxes-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/miamifoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TMF-Disaster-Readiness-Boxes-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>Through The Miami Disaster Resilience Fund, a permanent, revolving collaborative fund that supports disaster preparedness and equitable long-term recovery, we are piloting a parametric policy program that will support low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities in Greater Miami with emergency cash funds after a major hurricane. Parametric insurance is unique in that it pays based on a measure of the hazard, also known as the trigger (as opposed to a claim equal to the loss or repair cost). With a parametric policy the payment is immediate once the policy has been triggered. It can provide fast and flexible dollars after a disaster &#8211; which is exactly what we&#8217;ve aimed to do through the Miami Disaster Resilience Fund.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/miami.fcsuite.com\/erp\/donate\/create\/fund?funit_id=4066\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Miami Disaster Resilience Fund<\/a>\u00a0is made possible with the support of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gablesfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Coral Gables Community Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbcf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Key Biscayne Community Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/knightfoundation.org\/\">The Knight Foundation<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvshealth.com\/impact\/healthy-community\/our-giving\/foundations.html\">CVS Health Foundation<\/a>, William R.
