Take Action

Whether you come from the world of events, emergency management, or government, or just someone who sees what’s possible, you understand what your community needs to stay safe and resilient. Use that insight to push for policies and funding that recognize the superpowers already in your community as critical partners in disaster preparedness.

Sign the open letter

Add your voice to a growing movement of professionals and organizations from across sectors. Sign the open letter calling for broader acknowledgment and support of the disaster resilience workforce that’s already in your neighborhood.

Advocate for government recognition

Champion a resolution in your city, county, or state government that recognizes cross-sector professionals and venues as critical assets in disaster preparedness. A resolution doesn’t create new laws or require funding, but it formally acknowledges the value of this model, strengthening future partnership opportunities. Get started
