“The limitations on federal assistance have frustrated survivors and delayed recovery for far too long. The Biden-Harris Administration was determined to remedy this situation and help reach more people -- especially in communities disproportionately impacted by disasters.” - FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell Please register for this webinar to learn more about the effort to reform FEMA Individual Assistance: https://lnkd.in/e7aWfk6U FEMA has been collecting feedback for decades from disaster survivors, communities and stakeholders like National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, United Way, NAACP, Operation HOPE, The Salvation Army - Emergency Disaster Services - USA, Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management , Next Leadership Development, The Undivide Project and so many more partners, including from public comments the agency solicited in 2021, on how to specifically improve the Individual Assistance program. State partners and members of Congress have echoed these concerns and pressed for simpler, more straightforward programs to assist individuals across the country as they recover. Those shared experiences serve as the foundation of FEMA’s updates. #emergencymanagement #disasterresponse #disasterrecovery #financialresilience #financialpreparedness #disaster #emergencypreparedness

#StrongerTogether #PartnershipMonth "In times of crisis, the collaboration between the federal government and nongovernmental organizations is not just beneficial – it’s crucial. Partnerships, such as National Voluntary Agencies Active in Disaster, form a powerful alliance that significantly enhances disaster response efforts. From hurricanes to wildfires, this collaboration leverages the unique strengths of each sector, creating a whole community approach that isn’t possible otherwise." => https://lnkd.in/eTK5SYmE

In the unpredictable landscape of humanitarian emergencies, communities often find themselves in need of support without warning. Through collaborative efforts, we can transform vulnerability into resilience and effectively prepare for the unforeseen challenges that lie ahead. At CAC, we're dedicated to empowering vulnerable people and their institutions, helping them navigate these emergencies, and being ready to stay resilient through any future humanitarian crises that may arise. As we approach the International Day for Disaster Reduction, we're sharing a series of posts highlighting the power of preparedness and collective action. Together, we can build a world where everyone is resilient and no one is left behind in times of crisis. #community #disasterrelief

In the 9th post in our #caribbeanresilience series, my colleague Simone Banister talks about UK support for emergency response and recovery after natural disasters, working with partners like Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), World Food Programme, International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, Pan American Health Organization, as well as the Royal Navy to provide urgent life-saving support to affected communities. Sadly, the need for this kind of support is increasing, as is the cost of recovery. Throughout our series we have shown how countries can mitigate the worst impacts of natural disasters with robust planning and by building resilience into their infrastructure, systems and finances. #emergencymanagement #climateadaptation #resilience

🚨The recent collapse of the Baltimore Key Bridge is a prime example of effective crisis response. In the article titled "The Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse is a Master Class in Effective Disaster Response," we see how efficient crisis communications were executed: ⏰ Timely Response: 31 minutes after the incident, Maryland Transportation Authority closed bridge traffic, initiated rescue efforts, & shared info via social media. 🏃♂️ Effective Response: Emergency units were dispatched immediately & $60 million in relief funds were mobilized swiftly to ensure public safety & aid recovery efforts. 🤝 Community Approach: A collaborative strategy was employed, involving all levels of government & public entities to address community needs for a unified response. At RCG, we understand the critical role of a well-executed communications strategy in times of crisis. Let's learn from this event and strengthen our commitment to transparent, accurate, and timely communication.
