Response Efforts

We have been responding to natural disasters since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 by making information such as storm paths, shelter locations, emergency numbers, and donation opportunities easily accessible. Learn about our past responses.

Tools for Responders

First responders can use technology to streamline internal operations and get information to the public as quickly, broadly, and effectively as possible. We’ve published some solutions to help responders achieve these goals.
