The class, led by scientists, will provide education and tools to help our colleagues reduce the impacts of climate change. Supporting resilient communities globally We continued to fund disaster relief and response efforts around the world, as we have for many years. To build on these efforts, we are providing support for disaster relief and resilience building programs and initiatives to help create climate-resilient communities in extreme weather prone areas and cities where our colleagues and customers live and work. These grants aim to build capacity for mitigating the impacts of climate change, focusing on areas such as land management, water stewardship, climate resilience and adaptation, and education. RALLYING INTO ACTION AFTER EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS As extreme weather events disrupted communities worldwide throughout 2021, we were there to help with more than $650,000 for disaster response, working with organizations such as the Red Cross, Feeding America, and the International Medical Corps. Our support focused on addressing the immediate needs of those who have been injured or displaced, providing temporary shelter and meals for first responders and affected families, distributing clean-up supplies, and connecting affected people to mental health support, COVID-19 supplies, and other assistance.
