About this event

Event lasts 4 hours

Preparedness is key in recognizing the importance of disaster preparedness to anticipate risk and mitigate damage. The disaster simulation is grounded in the Johnson Center's case study research findings on Michigan-based disasters and infrastructure failures. The role of philanthropy in crisis highlights the critical function of foundations, especially community foundations, in convening and rapidly deploying resources during disasters.

The simulation invites grantmakers, or philanthropic organizations, of all types to engage in a realistic disaster scenario to assess philanthropic organizations' readiness, identify resource opportunities, evaluate coordination strategies, and understand readiness and community resilience in meaningful discussion and reflection.
