2015 Disaster Snapshot
Profile of Disasters in Michigan • Last FEMA Major Disaster Declaration was in September 2014 for severe storms and associated flooding. • Storms and associated flooding represent the greatest natural hazard to Michigan. • Community crises have been an important piece of the disaster dialogue in Michigan for well over a year.
What Does Disaster Giving Look Like? In the U.S., disaster giving is quick and largely reactive: • 1-4 weeks following a disaster: Over a third of private giving is completed • 1-2 months following a disaster: Two-thirds of private giving is completed • After 6 months: Giving stops
What You Need to Know: Disaster Definitions and Federal Processes Tend to be defined by cause: • Natural disaster • Complex • Humanitarian emergency • Manmade crisis • Act of Terror The federal government utilizes the Stafford Act to direct resources to states in a Presidential Disaster declaration.
FEMA Declarations – Does it Matter? • Federal disaster declarations shape delivery of resources. For private philanthropy to be effective, especially in the long- term, you need to know what resources are being provided federally, by the state, and by non-profits. • Overall though, very little federal assistance (less than $35,000/HH) goes to people.
Types of Disasters and Declarations Vary Florida Gov. Rick Scott's Request for Federal Emergency Declaration is Unprecedented After a Mass Shooting
New: Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) Relatively new framework to provide federal support to States beyond FEMA assistance. This means beyond response and to address issues more in line with other federal agencies.
Center for Disaster Philanthropy • The Center for Disaster Philanthropy helps individual, family, corporate, and institutional donors answer the question, “How can I help?” • CDP seeks to match best philanthropic practices with the needs of disaster-affected communities. • CDP’s expertise provides donors with a nexus of public and private networking, access to information, analysis, and educational resources about disasters that helps them determine when, where and how to invest in disaster response.
What We Do The Center for Disaster Philanthropy aims to: • Increase the effectiveness of donor dollars given to disasters; • Bring greater attention to preparedness and recovery initiatives; • Provide timely and relevant disaster-related information; and, • Create a unified platform of resources for disaster philanthropists.

CDP Early Recovery Fund We are involved in disaster operations by making grants to organizations supporting the needs of vulnerable populations within communities affected by low-attention disasters in the Midwest, efficiently and effectively, using a unique ‘clip-board’ grant-making process.
What CDP is Doing with ERF Funds The Early Recovery Fund is making grants to: • Community-based non-profit organizations to increase their ability to respond to those affected by the disaster. • Ensure the development of DCW/DCM as early as possible following a natural disaster. • Ensure the development of a community driven long-term recovery processes. • Assist communities in assessing/meeting the needs of disaster-affected vulnerable populations. • Meet the needs of children post disaster
When, Where, and How We Operate The Midwest Early Recovery Fund can be tapped within two weeks to one year after natural disasters—tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes, landslides and wildfires—in the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The fund began grantmaking in early 2015 and estimates making approximately 40 grants over the next two years to community based organizations and national disaster partners for community services support and disaster training, education, and outreach.
