Caring for Community in Crisis

When disaster strikes, the difference between devastation and resilience often comes down to what happens before, during, and after the storm. That’s why the Caterpillar Foundation invests in embedding community resilience across four phases: strengthening infrastructure, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Every year, wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States, threatening lives, property, and entire communities. Homeowners play a critical role in reducing the risk long before a wildfire ever ignites.

Flooding is the most common and costly natural disaster in the U.S., but homeowners are unaware that the time to act is well before the storm rolls in.
