Compassion in times of great need. A mobile resilience center that brings advanced information technology, physical infrastructure, decades of recovery experience, and logistical expertise to the communities that need it most.
What is the Hope City Disaster Resource Village?
A mobile resilience center designed to bring together advanced information technology, physical infrastructure, decades of recovery experience, and logistical expertise. Disaster response can and should be better: for survivors, for communities, and for the organizations serving them.
Six Ways the Village Serves Survivors
Mobile Resilience
When disaster strikes, we bring resources to you. Your community deserves help, and the Disaster Resource Village makes sure you get it.
Infrastructure
The Disaster Resource Village deploys a mobile Command Center outfitted with technology and support equipment, so our partners have everything they need to serve disaster survivors.
Single Registration
You fill out one registration and access resources from every participating partner. You never have to tell your story over and over again. One and done, to get you on the way to recovery.
Response to Recovery
Advanced information technology means your community sees recovery needs sooner. Using our data, local recovery efforts can begin in earnest up to 8 months before a traditional recovery.
Hope City for Kids
HCRN is teaming up with the family of Charles M. Schulz to bring Take Care with Peanuts to disaster response. The world famous Peanuts characters help children work through their emotions and learn how to prepare for disaster.
Multi-Lingual Services
You need to know what is being said to you. If you cannot understand us, you cannot get the help you deserve. The Village partners with translators in your community to serve you the way you need to be served.
Where the Village Has Served
Helping the youngest survivors feel safe again.
Children experience disaster differently. Hope City for Kids gives them a place inside the Village where trauma trained staff, familiar faces, and Take Care with Peanuts activities help them name what they are feeling, settle their nerves, and learn how to prepare for the next emergency.

Bringing critical resources, compassion, and hope directly to disaster survivors.
In 2024 and 2025, more than 10 million families were forced from their homes as wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods sparked fear and evacuations. The Disaster Resource Village is a mobile, one stop shop for immediate assistance, bringing together local service providers to meet survivor needs in a timely and effective manner.
A single point of coordinated entry. Immediate resources in one location. Hot meals, restrooms and showers, a children's program, pet supplies, multi lingual services, and accurate, timely information, all in one place.
Hope City Is a Collaboration
Hope City brings together many service providers and agencies across the state of California. Here are just a few.
