Prepare to Respond When Disaster Strikes

Disaster response takes preparation, practical skills, and a willingness to serve. Global Disaster Response training helps individuals and organizations think through how to respond to communities facing a crisis.

Learn to Respond with Purpose.

Our training brings together people who want to serve communities affected by disaster. Participants explore how to assess needs, plan a response, work alongside local communities, and coordinate with others in challenging conditions.

A new training date has not yet been announced. If you’re interested in attending a future training, contact us and we’ll share details when they become available.
