ABOUT
More Than Your Average Hub
At The K.A.P.S. Disaster Hub we connect communities to organizations and organizations to communities. On the Hub we deliver outstanding results across 3 key business areas: Collaboration, Connection, and Education. Our Mission is to Listen, Engage, Empower, and Drive change throughout global communities!
Our mission is threefold as we strive to…
- Provide a Hub of disaster-related information, resources, conversations, and ideas to ensure the health and safety of marginalized communities across the country
- Provide a platform for organizations working and supporting marginalized communities to communicate the availability of resources and supplies to the general public.
- Provide a safe space so organizations can connect while building trustworthy relationships.
