About the Disaster Resiliency and Response Program

With a collective base of knowledge spanning missions, competencies, and assets across the sectors, the Hilton Prize Coalition is best positioned to explore and develop a set of best practice solutions, protocols, and action plans for collective impact in complex disaster resiliency and response.

Disaster Response and Resiliency Program

Through its Disaster Response and Resiliency Program, the Hilton Prize Coalition activated its disaster protocols to increase the effectiveness of disaster response and demonstrated the benefits of collaboration in a disaster recovery context. The Coalition drew on its Clearinghouse, a central repository of Laureate information, to facilitate communication between the member organizations with staff and programs on the ground. Impacted organizations were better able to share information and resources. Building on these procedures and lessons learned from the collective, the Coalition developed strategies and innovated new models of collaboration to share with the sector.
