Disaster Resilience Collective
The Disaster Resilience Collective supports secular, humanist, and mutual aid groups in FEMA Region 4 that provide local action during all phases of the disaster process.
Disasters exacerbate inequality. Local people and groups are in the best position to act quickly, efficiently, and with cultural responsibility in the face of a weather disaster. The groups below provide locally directed action in historically underserved communities, offering preparedness, recovery, and mitigation for disasters through a climate justice lens.
Financial solidarity to the Disaster Resilience Collective is managed by the following communities:
- Blue Trunk Garden Network: Blue Trunk helps elders and other vulnerable community members prepare for predictable disasters and deploys volunteer brigades to help with rebuilding and cleanup projects. Blue Trunk also provides hot meals and distributes emergency supplies including food, pet food, and cleaning products.
- Central Florida Mutual Aid: a community-powered nonprofit collective organizing in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola Counties. They work to provide for the basic needs of individuals and families in these counties facing financial and disaster-related emergencies as a result of oppressive economic and social systems.
- Humanists of Tallahassee: participates in poverty alleviation efforts in the Tallahassee community for those who are experiencing homelessness as well as joining in efforts to aid communities in the Big Bend area that have been affected by climate emergencies and natural disasters.
- Neighborhood Fridge: a decentralized network of community fridges and pantries that are open 24/7.
