Crisis and Preparedness
Crisis and Preparedness
- Our communities count on us during a crisis such as a natural disaster to provide the resources they need most.
- Target has a long-standing commitment to provide support for disaster preparedness, relief and recovery efforts. We partner with the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Feeding America and local government agencies and other organizations that help communities prepare for disasters.
- Our CorporateCommandCenter, located in Minneapolis, operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, monitoring events around the globe that could impact our guests and team members. The center keeps in close contact with teams across the company so that we can prepare for and quickly respond to almost any situation.
- Educating team members and guests is one way we help communities prepare for severe weather and other potential emergencies. We offer guests a Family Safety booklet, which is available in stores during National Preparedness Month in September. The booklet contains a checklist of supplies that every family should have on hand at all times, as well as tips for keeping children safe and helping families create a safety plan.
- We help team members prepare for disaster at home by providing tips on how to keep themselves and their families safe and emergency hotlines they can call if they are affected by a disaster.
