Our purpose
Preparedness is stronger when leadership is connected.
C.O.R.E. Institute is a 501(c)(6) organization dedicated to building regional partnerships that help stakeholders plan together, share knowledge, strengthen capabilities, and coordinate effectively during emergencies.

The C.O.R.E. philosophy
Relationships built before an emergency make a difference during one.
Effective regional response begins long before the first call for help. We help partners create the connections and shared understanding needed to respond and recover together.
“Regional resilience is not the work of one agency or organization. It is the product of people, partnerships, preparation, and shared commitment.”
