UNITED WE PREPARE

United Way and 211 - the 24/7 resource we support - play a vital role in helping communities prepare for disaster. Through a partnership with Verizon, this work has expanded further to include developing disaster preparedness workshops for community residents and non-profits; optimizing resource allocation and in-kind allocations & donations; and launching education campaigns to boost awareness of preparedness best practices. Our work is designed to target specific local needs and vulnerabilities. 

 

We can’t predict the future, but we can be ready for it. United Way works in communities around the world to learn from the lessons of the past and strengthen our capacity to respond. We live where we serve, so we know the resources people count on and the gaps that can leave them vulnerable. 
In partnership with Verizon, we have expanded this work by hosting disaster preparedness workshops for community residents, developing an interactive quiz to improve people's knowledge of what to do when natural disasters occur, and sharing easy steps everyone can take to be ready.
We design our work to target specific local needs and vulnerabilities, helping our neighbors plan ahead with confidence.
