Extreme Weather Survivors Action Fund (EWSAF) is a growing national network of people directly affected by wildfires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and other climate-fueled disasters. The community provides a space for survivors to support and learn from one another, while empowering them to advocate to keep these disasters from happening to more families and communities.

EWSAF centers survivors as trusted messengers and powerful advocates for change. Survivor stories can cross political, racial, and geographic lines, bridging divides and shifting the public narrative from distant concern to urgent reality. EWSAF has helped pass innovative legislation by spotlighting economic messages from small businesses and homeowners who had survived catastrophic flooding, amplified amplified survivor voices on national and local conservative and religious news outlets, and hosted regular trainings in English and Spanish for dozens of survivors.
