Coordinated by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and co-sponsored by the Council on Foundations, this webinar will examine what is transpiring in communities impacted by Hurricane Dorian, from the Bahamas to the eastern coastline. As well, an understanding of the scope of support and resources available within a philanthropic response will be explored. Speakers will provide context to the latest needs on the ground after assessments are known and can be conveyed.
Panelists will detail the current challenges, effective approaches and how best to support the unique needs of small islands in recovery. CDP President and CEO Robert G. Ottenhoff will moderate the discussion.
Panelists:
- Brennan Banks, Director of Disaster Recovery Funds, CDP
- Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, Assistant Director of Major Initiatives, CDP
- Regine Webster, Vice President, CDP
