Our Work
Building Resilient Communities is proud to be a part of a network of organizations ensuring that communities are ready in the event of a crisis. We currently provide disaster preparedness tools, resources, and updates on emergency situations to hundreds of faith, community, and business leaders. When fires start, floods occur, the earth shakes, pandemics strike, or communities experience violence, we provide thousands of people with the information they need to stay safe.
In addition to training, we provide communities with the supplies they need to weather tough times. Building Resilient Communities has delivered thousands of face masks, face shields, hand sanitizers, and gloves to communities in need of personal protection equipment as they face COVID-19. We also partner with community organizations annually to provide students with emergency flashlights, backpacks, and school supplies. While disaster preparedness is our priority, we strive to meet the needs of the communities we serve in whatever ways we can.

Registration is now open. We cannot control when disasters happen, but we can control our communities’ ability to withstand disaster. Join us as we continue to address the issues that are causing some communities to be more vulnerable than others in times of disaster.During our previous summits, we explored how common social vulnerability characteristics, such as race and ethnicity, education, gender and household composition, income and poverty, housing tenure, and age, all lead to differences in community capacity, information, power, and control and resources, and which ultimately result in disparities in response to and recovery from disasters.The goal of this 3rd Summit Reconvening is to discuss our progress to date and identify quantifiable actions that will be taken to advance the movement toward resiliency.Once again, we need your voice in the room! We invite all leaders to come together to make a difference in the Inland Region. ... See MoreSee Less
