What is Resilient Response?
Community resilience is generally defined as the ability to adapt to, withstand, or rapidly recover from a disaster or catastrophic event. In 2016, Good360 founded the Disaster Recovery Council to help companies give more effectively and efficiently in response to disasters as well as helping communities build resilience to better withstand and recover from catastrophic events. Two years later, Good360 and our council members partnered with All Hands and Hearts – Smart Response to launch a campaign around thoughtful giving called Resilient Response.
Since launching just three years ago, our list of pledge partners has grown to over 65 companies and nonprofits committed to the six key pillars of disaster recovery listed below. By taking the Resilient Response pledge, you’re joining 65 like-minded organizations that help provide the right goods to the right people at the right time throughout all stages of disaster recovery.
