SBP is a social impact organization focused on disaster resilience and recovery. We operate at the intersection of racial equity, climate resilience and the importance of home to shrink the time between disaster and recovery. Our Prepare Program aims to better equip households, businesses, local officials, and nonprofits with the knowledge and capacity to make informed disaster preparedness decisions and build more disaster-resilient communities. Specifically, we prepare home and business owners for disasters through in-person and webinar-based resilience training and provide online educational resources designed to increase preparedness and speed recovery if and when disaster strikes.
