We are living in an era of recurring and unprecedented crises—from devastating wildfires, pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, and more. Many companies recognize that disaster response cannot merely be a reactionary effort. Companies are integrating disaster response into their broader social impact strategies, building a stronger connection to business priorities (e.g., sustainability), and addressing everything from immediate relief to long-term preparedness. Join us for an engaging and interactive discussion featuring leaders from PayPal, UPS, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, and Northern California Grantmakers. Together, we’ll discuss how to prepare for the next disaster by exploring emerging best practices, real-world examples, and tools for structuring efforts
