“Disaster Response” is historically thought of as a response to unexpected, one-time events. Over the past few years, people around the world are recognizing that we are living in a time of compounding disasters, and we’re starting to expect them. Seasons of wildfires, poor air quality, excessive heat, hurricanes, and other climate disasters are hitting wider swaths of the global community every year. Climate disasters, political disasters, and economic disasters are no longer isolated to a time or a place. They are beginning to emerge as a single, continuous event.
This call includes practical information, stories, and tips to prepare ourselves and support others in response to a variety of different disasters, with a specific focus on food sovereignty.
Establishing Roots promotes urban agricultural development- place-based initiatives that are agile, community-driven, and represent what's possible when you build strong community frameworks proactively. This group is rooted in Arizona, which is a frontline of the climate crisis.
Grassroots Aid Partnership responds to disasters with field kitchens that can serve thousands of meals per day, pop-up food & aid pantries, logistical assistance and disaster expertise. GAP aims to be nimble enough to reinvent itself to be whatever the community needs in each crisis. When GAP deploys to a community, its only agenda is serving that community’s needs and being a compassionate, uplifting force.
