When a nonprofit agency is preparing its operations and staff for a disaster, it is all hands on deck. This guide is designed to help agency staff by providing critical path steps to assist clients as they prepare for disaster and navigate through the aftermath. It also helps nonprofit staff understand how they can participate as their agency develops and implements the appropriate plans, policies and steps to avoid risk to its valuable assets and resources. Practitioners can best support their communities in disaster preparedness and recovery when they are prepared themselves.
