Southern Nevada Prepares
Serving Clark, Lincoln, Nye, and Esmeralda counties
When disaster strikes, prepared communities recover faster. United Way Southern Nevada's United We Prepare program gives families, organizations, and neighborhoods the tools, training, and resources they need to navigate any crisis. From hands-on workshops to Resiliency Hubs, local nonprofits providing food, safe spaces, and essential services year-round, the program strengthens Southern Nevada's foundation so that when challenges arise, our community is ready to rise with them.
