Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhen it comes to disaster relief, there are generally, 4 different phases where you might want to help.Phase 1: Mitigation: this is about future planning. Analyzing the possibility of future disasters and planning out what we can do now to lessen the suffering as a result of a natural disaster.Phase 2: Preparedness: this is when you know that a natural disaster is about to happen, what can you quickly do to prepare in the days beforehand. Depending on the type of natural disaster that is expected, it might mean making sure there are sandbags in place, there is enough food and water in reserves, making sure that hospitals have the right PPE and staffing levels.Phase 3: Response: this is the immediate aftermath of the natural disaster. Looking for survivors, for example.Phase 4: Recovery: Building homes and other infrastructure that were damaged. Maybe making changes to how that is done to lessen the impact of potential future disasters.Which phase do your donations tend to go to? Can we be more intentional in our disaster relief giving?Links from today's episode:https://privatebank.jpmorgan.com/gl/en/insights/giving/four-strategies-for-impactful-disaster-relief-giving Support the show
