Here in the Inland Empire, we’ve faced our share of challenges — from wildfires and floods to heat waves and power outages. Each time, we see the strength of our community shine through. But the truth is, the best way to protect our families, our homes, and our neighborhoods is to prepare before disaster strikes.
That’s where United Way comes in. Through its partnership with Verizon, Inland Southern California United Way is helping local residents, schools, and businesses build resilience, so that when emergencies happen, our community is ready to respond and recover together.
Melissa Gomes, Community Engagement Lead at Inland Southern California United Way, and Loreto Acevedo, Community Engagement Coordinator at Inland Southern California United Way, discuss the disasters most likely to affect our region, what the organization is doing right here in the I.E., and how each of us can take simple, affordable steps to stay safe and prepared.
