After the Storm
Disaster recovery communications with heart.
After the Storm is a Michigan-based nonprofit supporting communities in the wake of natural disasters. Their mission is long-term recovery and we help amplify that mission through compassionate, consistent, and clear communications designed to meet people where they are.
What We Do:
📬 Monthly Email Newsletter
We lead strategy, writing, and design for a monthly newsletter that keeps donors, partners, and community members connected to the cause. With open rates consistently above industry average - including a 61.5% open rate and 10.6% click-through rate on key updates - this email campaign has become a powerful tool for transparency, engagement, and donor retention.
📄 Print Materials & Resource Flyers
From community resource guides to bilingual tornado recovery pamphlets, we create approachable, mission-forward print materials that support survivors and recovery workers alike, right where they are.
🌐 Website Support & Content Updates
We provide ongoing web support, keeping After the Storm’s site updated with critical forms and information for disaster survivors, community partners, and volunteers. Our focus is clarity and accessibility, especially during moments of crisis.
“This work doesn’t have to be so hard when you have a professional doing it. Working with 989 has been a game changer and absolutely worth the investment for our organization.
— Nancy Money, Executive Director, After the Storm
