ArtsOC is one of several "hub" organizations participating in the Southern California Arts Responder Network, formed to help funders, who are so often looked to for aid, better prepare artists and arts organizations to survive disasters and cope with their aftermaths.
In order to understand how we can all improve our overall readiness in Southern California, we need to gain a better understanding of our region's readiness level so that we can focus our effort where it is most needed.
You can help us by completing a survey and sharing information about your own state of disaster readiness in confidential online survey here that will take 5-10 minutes.
