The Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has introduced the Community Lifeline Status System (CLSS) to enhance the capabilities of emergency managers in assessing and communicating vital information during disasters. This tool is set to revolutionize decision-making and resource allocation, streamlining the response and recovery processes for communities nationwide. Following successful pilot programs across various U.S. agencies, CLSS is poised for broader deployment in upcoming exercises. Highlights: - CLSS aids in quick assessment of critical information during disasters. - Designed to improve decision-making and resource allocation. - Successfully piloted by multiple agencies across the U.S. - Supports emergency managers in navigating increasing severe weather and manmade risks. - Integrates response systems for standardized incident management and reporting. Why is this relevant? As our communities face an unprecedented rise in severe weather events and complex threats, tools like CLSS become crucial in ensuring that emergency managers can respond swiftly and effectively. Enhancing our capabilities in disaster response not only safeguards civil society but also plays a vital role in national security, helping to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently in times of crisis.

Hazardscape is developing a robust First Nations Emergency and Disaster Management program that prioritizes capacity development over external supports that leave Nations dependent on government support and expensive consultants. What we do: Build disaster management capacity within First Nation communities. How do we do it: - Community led disaster management governance development. - Hiring from within the community. - Customizing our base disaster management training program for the community we are working with. And sharing the program with the community to use to train future emergency management practitioners. - Linking communities with experienced First Nation mentors and coaches. - Coordinating services so common emergency management terminology is promoted in the community's language and oral culture, making it part of their linguistic history. This empowers Nations to develop internal ways of working and it helps them understand the terminology that is used by neighboring non-Indigenous emergency management agencies. What we don't do: Take up space in the community by engineering dependencies on our contractors. Follow us to learn more about how we are supporting First Nations as they prepare their homes.
