Disaster 101: Your Guide to Extreme Weather Preparation, Relief and Recovery

Grist has published an adaptable toolkit to provide "critical information before and after weather disasters." It includes several guides for media and community organizations that can be customized for your local audience.

"Because the Disaster 101 guide was made to help people quickly access and sift through urgent information, many of the resources are in plain text in case of internet or power outages. They are also available for download as PDFs for offline reading. These resources were made with the input of community organizations, disaster relief groups, local government officials, researchers, and residents.

"The guide covers all types of disasters: hurricanes, winter storms, flash floods, tornadoes, wildfires, and heat waves. We offer comprehensive information on disaster preparation, response, and recovery, as well as specific guides on housing, food access, and public health, guides for undocumented immigrants, and more."
