Disaster Resilience and Recovery: Building Forward

People in communities around the world are facing the devastating effects of more frequent and severe disasters. From hurricanes and wildfires to floods and tornadoes — their impact is felt most deeply by communities already facing historic disinvestment and housing inequities.

Our disaster recovery work goes beyond emergency relief. We help communities navigate the full cycle of disasters: from preparedness and mitigation to long-term recovery and reconstruction. Through our Pathways to Permanence approach, we work hand-in-hand with communities to deliver trauma-informed and community-driven solutions.

We focus on disaster risk reduction and long-term durability in communities vulnerable to extreme weather and other climate disasters, by using innovative designs and context-appropriate materials. Whether it’s building wildfire-prepared homes in California, training local laborers to repair hurricane-damaged homes in Dominica or providing critical information to earthquake survivors through a weekly radio program in Nepal, we are creating safer, stronger and more financially resilient futures.
