Extreme Weather Survivors Online Community

EWS is a nationwide online community for people impacted by extreme weather, offering connection, support, and opportunities to create change.

Impact looks different for everyone. You don’t have to lose everything to be a survivor. If extreme weather has affected you or someone you care about physically, emotionally, financially, or through your home or community, you belong here. Together, we make change possible by making sure that every person who has been directly impacted feels welcome here.

Nothing. EWS community spaces, discussions, resources, and expert guidance are always free for survivors.

We support survivors of all extreme weather impacts, from major disasters like hurricanes and fires to ongoing conditions like extreme heat, air pollution, drought, and repeated flooding that don't always receive federal disaster declarations, but can be just as disruptive.

You can find connection, support, and practical help. Whether you’re looking to talk with others who understand your experience, get guidance from experts, explore grants, attend events, or get involved in advocacy, there’s a place for you here. We also welcome your ideas and feedback as we continue to grow.

Our programs are open to everyone, everywhere, although our resources are primarily focused on disaster recovery and advocacy in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S. and interested in similar support, reach out by emailing community@extremeweathersurvivors.org . We’ll do our best to connect you with resources or explore options with you.

Many of our resources are available in English and Spanish, and we’re working to expand. If you need support in another language, please email us what language you are looking for at community@extremeweathersurvivors.org . We'll do our best to help and prioritize new language offerings based on community needs!
