Disaster Relief Support for the Small Business Ecosystem

Overview

When disaster strikes, small businesses face an uphill battle for survival. 40% never reopen, and another 25% close within a year—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Alongside our partners, CRF has developed a proven framework that reimagines how communities support small business recovery for stronger, more resilient local economies.

What you’ll find inside:

  • Implementation guidance with role and responsibilities
  • Best practices from $1.2B+ in disaster deployments
  • Case studies with measurable outcomes
  • Technology and rapid deployment strategies
  • Grant and loan structures for each phase

The time to prepare is now.
