How and what kind of support can I get from BWB during a disaster?
February 21, 2025
BWB is not a civilian army, and we don’t “dispatch” crews to respond to crises.
We support community-driven efforts during disasters by helping connect volunteers, resources, and expertise to local response efforts. While BWB is not a first-response organization, it can assist by amplifying relief initiatives, sharing best practices from past disaster responses, and connecting those in need with a network of experienced volunteers and organizations.
In the world we live in, disasters are happening every day. We know that the question is not if, but when a disaster will strike. The best way to respond to a disaster is to prepare before it hits. That’s right- if you’re reading this and things are going well- NOW is the time to start preparing with your community of practice.
