Our Core Tenets
Be Proactive
Anticipate and prepare for disasters by implementing proactive measures that enhance response speed and efficiency to build resilient communities.
Community Distribution
Prioritize the unique needs and characteristics of each community, with a focus on the most vulnerable communities.
Incorporate Equity
Integrate equity considerations into all aspects of response efforts, recognizing and addressing systemic disparities that exacerbate vulnerabilities within certain communities
Informed Engagement
Educate key audiences to create knowledgeable partners who feel informed and empowered to proactively and collaboratively provide short and long-term support.
Our Work
The GDRC is engaged in several key initiatives to enhance disaster preparedness and response. This year, we’ve focused on our partnership with Every Shelter, providing extra-strength, durable tarps made from recycled billboards, which are essential given the 2024 natural disaster forecasts.
A major part of the GDRC’s efforts includes pre-positioning products like these tarps to ensure quick deployment when disasters strike. We’ve accomplished this by establishing shared warehouses in disaster-prone areas, enabling the rapid distribution of these products in times of need.
With the 2024 forecasts showing record-breaking natural disaster outcomes, we brought Alex Garcia, Chief Meteorologist for Fox News at Nine, to our latest GDRC meeting to better understand the reality of these forecasts and how AI and drones are being used for more accurate storm forecasting. His insights further underscore the importance of the GDRC’s efforts in pre-positioning resources and improving response strategies for the 2024 season.
Empowering Recovery
The GDRC’s collaboration has enhanced Good360’s ability to effectively respond to natural disasters.

“The UPS Foundation has supported Good360’s disaster recovery work for over 10 years. Our missions align perfectly around the need to get donated products where they are needed as efficiently as possible. Being a founding member of the Good360 Disaster Recovery Council has also helped us share and hear about best practices. Together, we have distributed well over $100 million in needed goods to support survivors and recovering communities.”
