The Rapid Response Ecosystem Lab is a learning and practice space for leaders who lead, implement, or prepare to undertake rapid response in their organizations and want to grow their skills in building immediate infrastructure for crisis response in communities. We define rapid response as a set of immediate community-building, infrastructure, and mobilization strategies to address urgent needs facing survivors, victims, family members, and the broader community, including but not limited to health and legal concerns, mental health, and trauma care. 

While the 2024 lab has concluded, see Rapid Response Resources for frameworks, exercises, and reflection questions to strengthen organizational rapid response infrastructure.
