Recovery After Disaster

The International Fire Foundation (IFF) was created to provide charitable assistance to all communities affected by disaster.

IFF provides step by step assistance throughout recovery. IFF volunteers provide long term recovery education to ensure affected families can make informed decisions. Assistance is given from the initial incident all the way through the recovery journey. Remote support now includes policy and claim assistance upon request.

The goal of IFF is to support communities affected by fire and disaster; to eliminate additional, unintentional homelessness during a national housing crisis. Bridging the gap in long term recovery infrastructure.

Upgrading Existing Homes

Community Connection

The International Fire Foundation connects families and first responder agencies before, during and after disaster. Under the program, volunteer emergency response teams (ERTs) deploy to support affected communities during emergency incidents. ERTs deliver incident support, step by step recovery education, long term support, and necessary resources to heal affected communities after disaster.

Community Connect collaborates with first responder agencies to support local charity events benefiting the affected community.

Community Connection encompasses IFF's mission to make safer, resilient communities before, during and after disaster.
