Thrive RISE

A Coalition of Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) for San Mateo County

 
 

Thrive RISE (Resilience in Shared Emergencies) is a coalition of Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) for San Mateo County that will enhance community resilience and facilitate communication, coordination, and collaboration among nonprofit and faith-based organizations, government agencies, and the private sector during all phases of a disaster.

Community organizations have crucial roles to play in helping residents safely navigate a disaster.

They have place-based knowledge, deep ties to the community, and existing operations focused on everyday community well-being that helps them accurately identify and address local needs during disasters. When these organizations collaborate and communicate during disasters, community outcomes can improve drastically.

Thrive RISE aims to develop a diverse COAD of community- and faith-based organizations with expertise in food security, physical and mental health, houselessness and affordable housing, education, substance use, and harm reduction, emergency preparedness, climate adaptation, children and youth, senior wellness, LGBTQ+ belonging and services, immigrants rights, violence prevention, environmental health, and other areas related to community resilience and wellbeing.

Join our next monthly meeting, every last Wednesday of the month from 10-11am by Zoom.
