Community

No person or place is immune from disasters or disaster-related losses, and recent events have proven that even prepared communities can be overwhelmed in a state of emergency. Our reports provide guidelines and targeted resources for all stakeholders in a disaster response, including state and local governments, emergency medical services and health care centers.

One Million K-12 Students Are Homeless in America!

One Million K-12 Students Are Homeless

(Image: Student silhouette via Shutterstock)Homelessness is defined as not having a regular permanent residence. This doesn’t necessarily mean living in the streets or in their vehicles – though many do. A large portion of homeless split their times between hotels, homeless shelters or crowding in with friends and families. For many students, when they go to school each morning, they may have no idea where they will be sleeping that night.

Strong, sustainable communities are possible when stakeholders are informed and engaged in the planning process. This meeting, is the first of many we hope to have to facilitate and support honest, open community dialogue to articulate our problems, to brainstorm, to network and to hopefully discuss and find sustainable solutions that can be implemented.

Canarsie Eco Village Community Resilience Pilot

Tue, 2013-10-29 15:52 — debbiefook

Canarsie Healing Center & EcoVillage - Community Resilience Pilot Initiative

Canarsie Eco Village & Natural Healing Center is one proposed initiative from the community as part of an encompassing plan for the future of Canarsie. Said local Rabbi Yosef Serebryanski or Rabbi Yossi, as he is fondly called by everyone " An eco-community can be an integral sustaining power for Canarsie to weather any future storms, natural or man-made.It is important for any group of people living together to have clean water and food during any disaster. If it is freely available then it also means there is no need for rioting, pillaging or mayhem as it allows people to continue to co-exist peacefully."
