1/🧵 I've been invited to partner with a local county to put on a presentation on how private non-profits can best prepare for disasters in terms of mutual aid and access federal aid for recovery.

There's such a need for education for all organizations these days, this stuff is too complicated unless you can afford consultants.

Which creates #equity issues that many governments have difficulties in addressing.

I want to send some data into the ether that may interest people who wonder how US governments recover from the increasing occurrences of #disasters.
