Helping communities prepare for – and recover from – the unexpected

The Travelers Institute is committed to promoting community resiliency. Our disaster preparedness initiative works to raise awareness about the risks posed by natural disasters and how communities and businesses can respond and recover.

Through partnerships and events, we’re educating communities to become better prepared for, and better equipped to recover from the unexpected.
