FEMA Announces 2012 Community Resilience Innovation Challenge

posted Sep 27, 2012, 11:37 AM by Samara Ebinger

FEMA has announced that the application period is open for a new funding opportunity to build local resilience, through a Whole Community approach, in communities across America: the Community Resilience Innovation Challenge. This new monetary opportunity is designed to continue to move community preparedness forward and assist local areas in building and revitalizing community-based partnerships to advance the nation’s resilience to disasters.

“The best resiliency ideas originate in our states and communities – not from Washington, DC,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “The goal of this program is to empower communities to collaborate and develop innovative ways to effectively respond to disasters.”

The Case for Collaboration and Community Engagement as Cornerstones for Community Resilience Planning:

 

The goal is to help to empower our community to collaborate and to build strong community based partnerships to find innovative ways to effectively respond to disasters, to rebuild economically stable and resilient communities that are environmentally practical and responsible.

 

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