The way that Manatee County Government, Work That Matters leveraged Peregrine before, during, and after Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton to improve community resiliency and recovery has set a new standard (see below). Their innovation and ingenuity has shifted how agencies prepare for, respond to, and recovery from emergencies, and it was a giant step toward a more data-driven and unified future for emergency managers. We would love an opportunity to meet with you this week at FEPA. Manatee County Case Study https://lnkd.in/g9xc6wwB "The State of Data in Emergency Management" White Paper https://lnkd.in/g_U7HW9e

We spent the day in beautiful Port Lincoln today, for a Zone Emergency Support Team exercise in preparation for the 2024/2025 Fire Danger Season. Followed by a Zone Emergency Management Committee meeting, also focussed on bushfire preparedness for the Eyre & Western Region. Eyre & Western has had an early bushfire season start date - it is going to be a hot and dry summer with an increase chance of heatwaves and risk of fires. Everybody has a role to play when it comes to building community’s resilience. While governments, emergency services and health workers are generally responsible for first response and short-term preparedness, non-government organisations, the community sector, business owners and community members all have a crucial role to play in helping to cope with, and recover from, a disaster. I love being able to support ZEMCs in leading the strategic approach to local level EM planning. #resilience #community #preparedness #zemcs

September is National Preparedness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of preparing for unexpected events to minimize their impact. National Preparedness Month aims to alleviate the fear of the unknown by encouraging residents to prepare their families and homes for potential disasters proactively. This readiness helps to mitigate the impact of such events on communities. Throughout September, local governments and other public sector entities can play a pivotal role in assisting residents in preparing for disasters by offering educational opportunities, tips, and resources. While September emphasizes preparedness, it is crucial to maintain a mindset of safety and awareness throughout the year, as disasters can occur unexpectedly at any time.

In light of recent local informal civic discussions; I do believe that we as a Emergency Management community need to do a better job of providing awareness and education on the National Response Framework at the local level? https://lnkd.in/eGUahDnU

In emergency management, partnerships are the cornerstone of resilience and strength within our communities. When agencies, first responders, volunteers, and community organizations work together, they build a safety net that is much stronger than any single entity could provide alone. Each partner brings unique expertise, resources, and perspectives that are vital in creating comprehensive emergency response plans, training programs, and communication networks. By fostering these partnerships, communities enhance their collective ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. Community members benefit from a well-coordinated response that minimizes harm and speeds recovery. These partnerships also allow communities to develop robust public alerting systems, provide thorough training for emergency personnel, and offer continuing education opportunities that strengthen community resilience. In short, emergency management partnerships are about building a culture of safety and preparedness that extends beyond organizational boundaries creating a community where we look out for one another, collaborate to overcome challenges, and emerge stronger from every crisis. Together, we’re not just managing emergencies; we can build a safer future.
