Use the Bainbridge Model to Build Resilience in Your Community
The Bainbridge Model is a completely free to use digital kit-in-a-box designed to support community organizers and emergency management professionals across North America to ready their communities for emergencies and develop resilience to weather disasters.
The kit offers 80 percent of what you need—best practices, templates, grant recommendations, and guides—so you can customize the final 20 percent for your specific community. The model is based on the 12+ years of experience of the award-winning Bainbridge Prepares. You may find this one-page overview useful to share with others in your community.
