Program Connection

How Disaster 360 Connects AFRN Programs

The framework becomes real through local programs.

Neighborhood Stations deliver Disaster 360 locally. Resilience Centers expand community support. Mobile Response Units bring field capability into affected areas. CERT and Neighborhood Teams activate trained residents at the neighborhood level. Together, these programs turn the Disaster 360 framework into practical community readiness.
