*This program is hosted by our partner, The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members. Space is limited and will be granted on a first come, first served basis.*
On Dec. 10 and 11, tornadoes hit several states in one of the worst tornado outbreaks we have seen in recent years. CDP is hosting a webinar to explore how funders can think about medium- and long-term recovery amid planning for immediate response. Recovery, which is the process of improving structures, systems and services while also addressing sources of inequitable and unjust outcomes for survivors and their communities, starts right after a disaster. Yet, the most urgent needs are so front and center that our hearts, minds, and wallets tend to gravitate towards immediate relief efforts. How can funders think about both simultaneously?
Although the webinar will focus on Kentucky as the hardest-hit state, we will also share relevant insights into funding affected communities in other states.
What will you learn?
- How funders can think about medium and long-term recovery amid planning for immediate response
- Understanding the impact of these tornadoes and how best to support their disaster recovery
Who should attend?
While aimed at funders, it will also be of interest to emergency managers, academics, disaster responders and NGO staff working on the frontlines of this crisis.

What else should I know?
