***This program is hosted by our partner, Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.
Flash floods are the most dangerous type of natural hazard in the U.S., consistently causing the highest number of fatalities each year. Sadly, recent weeks have provided proof of that with flooding around the country, including in North Carolina, New Mexico, Illinois, Kentucky, and, of course, Texas.
A study earlier in 2025 rated Texas as the U.S. state most at risk for a disaster this year, such as a wildfire, tornado or flood. But knowing there is a risk doesn’t mean we envision an event like the extreme flooding on the Guadalupe River over Fourth of July weekend. This flooding was fast-moving, unexpected, grew quickly, and was both destructive and deadly.
Join us for a webinar to discuss the recent flooding in the U.S. and how funders can help affected communities recover and prepare for future events.
By the end of this webinar, donors will:
- Understand what makes flood recovery and preparedness different from other disasters.
- Gain increased awareness of the mental health impacts of flooding.
- Understand how funders can support communities to prevent damage from floods and improve a community’s recovery after a flood.
Who Should Attend?
- Philanthropic organizations, individual donors and funders
- Philanthropic advisors
- Disaster response and recovery professionals
- Community leaders and policymakers
- Anyone interested in learning about floods in the U.S.
Speakers
- Amy Carol Dominguez, Director of Disaster Services, Vibrant Emotional Health
- Cari Cullen (Moderator), CDP Program Officer for Domestic Funds
