Resources for Organizational Support During Disasters

As Northern California continues to experience severe wildfires, Enterprise stands with our partners serving communities on the frontlines. Our Democratizing Resilience and Disaster Recovery Initiative is building a series of resources, tools and guidance on a central website to ensure that future processes around disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery center the communities most impacted by natural hazard disasters. As we complete this website, we want to share some of the useful tools and resources. 

Stay safe and hopeful.
