*The Harvard Alumni Disaster Preparedness and Response Team SIG is focused on reaching out to help Harvard alumni with specific needs wherever there is a disaster, attack, or other emergency. This effort includes sharing knowledge and resources that we can make available to fill a targeted need, as well as providing information about the on-the-ground needs from local alumni affected by an emergency rather than news reports which may be inaccurate.
All alums and their spouses and surviving are welcome to join. We each have something to give whether it is experience, knowledge, or concern and caring.
