Kat Rosqueta, founding executive director of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy, along with other experts from Penn Design, the Perelman School of Medicine, and the Penn Institute for Urban Research, provides guidance on the best ways to respond to major hurricanes like Harvey and Irma.
“Especially in the United States, where we have this really strong philanthropic tradition, people immediately think, ‘How can I help?’ You see this big spike in giving right as the crisis occurs,” Rosqueta said. “But these communities are affected for months, years, sometimes decades.”
