Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s mission is to provide tools, training, resources, and information to facilitate continuous improvement in community disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Its charter describes four areas of work: assessing and addressing gaps that hinder community resilience; creating opportunities for community and regional disaster-planning alliances; facilitating and supporting training and exercises; and publishing guidance and other preparedness materials.
Activities include Significant Event Readiness Forums (SERFs) and Targeted Event Readiness Forums (TERFs). In 2024, the organization reported that three SERFs were conducted in three counties. One, the Yuma Airshow SERF, convened 111 participants from military, tribal, first responder, healthcare, school, county and state government, and state association groups to discuss injuries and fatalities from an aircraft incident.
Grantmaking
The available filing data lists no grants for 2023, 2024, or 2025. A separate record identifies a $7,122 grant to AJO Ambulance Inc. in 2021. AJO Ambulance describes its mission as serving the rural communities of Ajo, Why, Lukeville, and the western portion of the Tohono O’odham Nation. No typical grant size or application process is stated.
