Crisis Response
Our commitment to the well-being of our team members is the foundation of our crisis response protocols and procedures. When a disaster strikes, we stand ready to help our team members — both during and after the crisis.
Boyd Gaming has implemented several communications platforms designed to help us contact our team members quickly and reliably during crisis situations.
Through our utilization of a communications software solution, we have the ability to send automatic messages to team members’ smartphones when a crisis situation is affecting their property or community, allowing us to get warnings out quickly when a dangerous situation is unfolding.
This notification system is augmented by an internal website used to provide regular updates to Boyd team members during property closures; and our Emergency Operations Center, which is available for team members to call during a major crisis to receive updates and request assistance.

Rebuilding and Recovery
Once a crisis situation has passed, Boyd has programs and protocols in place to help our team members with the recovery and rebuilding process.
Our Team Member Crisis Fund is available to our non-executive team members for financial assistance following natural disasters or times of personal crisis. Team members are eligible to receive up to $3,000 per year in financial assistance from the Crisis Fund, which is funded entirely by donations from Boyd team members and the company.
Additionally, Boyd has a long history of stepping up to provide special assistance to our team members following major natural disasters, such as hurricanes or floods. Relief provided by the company after recent disasters has included:
- Continuation of regular pay and benefits to team members during property closures;
- Enhanced grants from the Team Member Crisis Fund, supported by additional company funding;
- Pre-paid cash cards for impacted team members, allowing them to quickly purchase relief supplies;
- Distribution of food, water and other relief supplies to impacted team members.
