As an organization within the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (NVOAD) association, HOPE worldwide is committed to prepare, repair and restore communities affected by natural and man-made disasters. In partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, the American Red Cross, FEMA, NVOAD, Catholic Charities USA, the Freddie Mac Foundation, Exxon Mobil, and Walmart, the HOPE worldwide Community Service Division Office of Disaster Services has been able to strategically prepare communities for emergencies and respond quickly and effectively to countless disasters across the country.

 

Disaster Preparedness

Through a strategic collaboration with the American Red Cross, HOPE worldwide combats the biggest disaster threat to U.S. families: fire. HOPE worldwide volunteers utilize door-to-door canvassing and community events to educate families about the risk of home fires and distribute life-saving fire prevention materials.
