Small org response checklist

If you have time in your regular meetings to discuss disaster preparedness, here are some things you could consider to be set up for greater success:

  • Threat model your environment, political situation, and personnel dynamics.
  • Identify and support the different ways individuals respond, such as shutting down or leaping to action.
  • Others have gone through similar things, some of them in your organization. Find them and ask.
  • Slow down. Think. Breathe. Act strategically.
  • Add contingency planning time to regular meetings on a quarterly basis.
    • Checking in with each other
    • Evacuation plans
    • Data backups
  • Identify and increase resources and capacities in your community, including food and water storage. See other resources referenced in this guide for how to prepare.
  • Identify and flag burnout patterns in people, offer interventions. 
  • Perform ongoing personal and community care to increase resilience.
