We are committed.

Together we can strengthen homes, businesses and communities against natural disasters and other causes of loss.

DRN Councils

At DRN we are focused on helping strengthen three main sectors: Individual Homes, Local Businesses and Our Community. We have created three different council groups which are focused on developing action plans and engaging their network on opportunities for emergency planning. Our goal is to help prepare these three groups and focus on actions that can be done before disaster strikes.

About DRN's Business Council

The DRN Business Council is both a public and private partnership designed to educate businesses and nonprofits about the need for emergency and continuity planning. We offer networking opportunities for those interested in business emergency and continuity planning, and assist in promoting the critical role of businesses and nonprofits in a community’s disaster resiliency.

Hosted by Disaster Resilience Network and chaired by David Hall with State Farm Insurance, representatives serving on the council in 2017, include: Bank of Oklahoma, CK Consulting LLC, Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), the LSU Stephenson Disaster Management Institute, Meshek and Associates, Oklahoma Small Business Development Center, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, the Resilience Institute, SERVPRO of South Tulsa and Edmond, Titan Data Services, TRC Disaster Solutions, the Tulsa City County Health Department, and the Tulsa Regional Chamber.

This council helps small businesses plan to survive fire, flood, wind, power loss, or other troubles that can sink even the most determined entrepreneurs.

We want to help businesses and nonprofit social service agencies strengthen their protection and planning before disaster strikes, whether in the form of natural disasters or even everyday emergencies such as a power failure.

About DRN's Housing Council

The DRN Housing Council is a collaborative venture between DRN and other entities to help people build stronger and more weather-resistant homes. This includes the promotion of programs like the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety FORTIFIED Homes as well as the use of low impact development / green infrastructure strategies in dealing with storm water drainage / retention such as rain gardens, bioswales, pervious concrete, etc. The steering committee is co-chaired by Graham Brannin with the Metropolitan Environmental Trust and Charles Snyder, an engineer and IBHS FORTIFIED Home Evaluator as well as representatives from local, state, tribal, private and nonprofit entities. Much of our work overlaps with those working in the green building industry, who see the value of a home that is built to exist in harmony with the climate of Oklahoma.
