About the event

Communities in Central Iowa are often left out of disaster planning and recovery. We are changing that through the Community Preparedness Network (CPN), an equity-centered approach to emergency readiness.


We’re inviting churches, nonprofits, neighborhood groups, civic organizations, etc. to attend an introductory session to learn how your organization can help build a system by us, for us. Together, we can move from survival to strength in the face of any crisis.


Listen: Black & Privileged Podcast – Staying Ready: Safety in the Age of Domestic Terror featuring NAACP CPN Chair Diogenes Ayala and host Abena Sankofa.


 It is a great conversation addressing many of the issues the CPN will help us address. Unable to attend in person? Join us on zoom on 12/4 at 6:30pm. Register here: https://www.naacpdesmoines.org/events-1/building-power-before-the-storm-community-preparedness-network
