Disaster resilience & recovery efforts are already underway in the Caribbean as Hurricane Matthew continues to pummel the Eastern seaboard of the US. At times like these it is crucial to keep as much of the recovery spend as close to, and within the damaged areas as possible. #spendlocal #buylocal

The multiplier effect of disaster recovery dollars is additionally positively compounded when underserved populations and diverse businesses get access to these recovery dollars and are able to share in the economic, social, and community-based recovery work.

#veracloudtech is committed to working with multiple partners from city, state, and federal governments in advance of and after crises like this hurricane, to provide the most effective tools for giving visibility to ready, willing, and able diverse businesses in advance of disasters, so that when crises occur, these ready, willing, and able diverse businesses can easily, effectively, and efficiently be included in the rebuilding and recovery work. #diversity #access #inclusion
