Today marks 23 years since the tragic events that occured on September 11, 2001. On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor the memory of the lives that were lost. We will never forget.

As we arrive at the statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, disaster preparedness remains top of mind at The Miami Foundation. With South Florida’s potential to pioneer climate resiliency coming into focus, we at the Foundation are pursuing innovations in how the philanthropic sector prepares for and responds to local climate disasters. The 2024 disaster season marks the first time that the Foundation has invested in a parametric insurance policy, making us one of the nation’s first philanthropic institutions to explore this approach to disaster relief.  Read all about parametric insurance here: https://lnkd.in/eJyPQbN9
