Network Group Meeting

Continuing the Disaster Conversation

Virtual Option Available

Thursday, November 5, 2026
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM (EST)

We want to keep talking about disaster approaches and learning from one another to be better prepared. We know we can't only talk about this once a year or after a disaster strikes. We hope you'll join us to learn from your peers and share what you're working on, so that we can strengthen our approaches to disaster preparedness, response, recovery and resilience. 

The agenda will include a day of shared learning and collaborative problem-solving. Through roundtable discussions, presentations, and interactive mapping activities, participants will explore organizational disaster response plans, learn about collaborative funding approaches, and identify gaps in philanthropic support. Together, we'll examine what it means to respond to ongoing and concurrent disasters and consider opportunities for stronger, more coordinated action.

This event is sponsored by the Blue Cross & Blue Shield of NC Foundation.
