Unequal access to internet and digital tools—the “digital divide”—can limit families’ ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. This gap is most pronounced in rural communities, among people living in poverty, and communities of color.
Join the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) and partners for a webinar exploring how digital access and literacy shape disaster outcomes. Panelists will discuss disparities, infrastructure challenges, and opportunities for collaboration with digital inclusion organizations.
Key takeaways for donors and participants:
- Understand the digital divide and its connection to disasters.
- Learn how to support resilient infrastructure and digital literacy.
- Explore ways to collaborate with digital inclusion organizations.
Who should attend?
Philanthropic organizations, donors, advisors, disaster response professionals, community leaders, policymakers, and anyone interested in technology and disaster resilience.
Moderator: Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, CDP Director of Educational Impact
Panelist: Rhea Yaw Ching, Executive Director, Mission Telecom (more to come)
Co-sponsored by: PEAK Grantmaking, Philanthropy California, Council on Foundations, and The Funders Network.
