Key Takeaways

• Panama City is served by nonprofits, NGOs, and volunteer organizations.
  Understanding how these organizations work together, and how they may support each other, is important.
• Non-profits, NGOs, and volunteer organizations can fit the needs of groups that are not traditionally met by public services.
• Collectively identifying and serving the needs of those individuals not traditionally provided services is important. Finding established structures and building partnerships will help organizations better deliver services to all community members with unmet needs.
• When it comes to disasters, nonprofits and similar community service organizations need to be able to spread the word about their services in formats that reach the
  community members in need. Having a strong ground game and communication strategy is important.
