Extreme Weather Survivors Action Fund (EWSAF) is a nimble and responsive national network of people directly impacted by fires, floods, hurricanes, extreme heat, and other disasters. We empower survivors to organize, advocate, and hold decision-makers accountable, ensuring that those most affected by the rising costs of these disasters have a voice in shaping the response and recovery.
EWSAF centers survivors as trusted messengers and powerful advocates for change. Survivor stories can cross political, racial, and geographic lines, bridging divides and shifting the public narrative from distant concern to urgent reality. EWSAF has helped pass innovative legislation by spotlighting economic messages from small businesses and homeowners who had survived catastrophic flooding, amplified amplified survivor voices on national and local conservative and religious news outlets, and hosted regular trainings in English and Spanish for dozens of survivors.
