This database reflect the efforts of The Pew Charitable Trusts to promote the use of nature-based solutions by state and local governments to help fortify communities in the face of more frequent and severe disasters. Nature-based solutions are interventions that use natural processes and ecosystem services—ecological processes or functions that have value to people—to build resilience to floods, wildfires, droughts, and extreme heat. https://ow.ly/hBZu50SCy1M

The recent impact of Hurricane Beryl has been profound, devastating communities across multiple Caribbean islands. During this challenging time, my thoughts are with all those affected by this natural disaster. It's crucial to stand in solidarity with the Caribbean region, recognizing the importance of collective support and committing to contributing to relief efforts. The priority is to assist in rebuilding lives and restoring communities. Here's how you can make a difference: - Financial Support: Consider donating to reputable organizations providing essential relief and aid. - Volunteer Opportunities: Explore ways to volunteer your skills and time to support recovery operations on the ground. - Raise Awareness: Share information about ongoing needs and encourage others to contribute to the recovery efforts. Together, we all can help accelerate recovery and demonstrate our collective resilience. Let's support the Caribbean communities as they rebuild and recover from this challenging situation. #CaribbeanStrong #HurricaneRelief #CommunitySupport #GlobalSolidarity

With a heavy heart, I share with you the news that today marks Day 71 of The Storm After the Storm in Guerrero, Mexico. The situation is critical, and our team has just completed the first month of our emergency feeding mission.   Words can't express how terrible this crisis is. It's even harder for us to save fragile lives without food, jobs, or crops because international media is not reporting on the humanitarian crisis affecting 800,000 people. We need your help to spread the word and raise awareness of this dire situation.   We can't sit idly by and watch this happen. We need to make this crisis go viral, and we need your help to do it.   So many people are still suffering, struggling to find their next meal. Your heart goes out to them, and you want to make a difference. Your donation of $68 can provide food to thousands of people in need. Together, we can offer a glimmer of hope to those facing such difficult circumstances. Let's show them we care. Remember, Hunger Never Takes a Holiday.  https://lnkd.in/gwdBHWjX   Wings CRS Inc. is a 501C3 non-profit private foundation registered in Delaware and Texas. #GuerreroMexico, #wingscrs, #starvation, #hunger, #homelessness, #wingscrs, #savelives, #disease, #pestilence, #disaster, #catastrophe #WIOWL https://lnkd.in/gCJw2gCn

Hard truth: Hurricane Helene is going to devastate Florida's coast tonight and nobody will care because it will hit poor communities. It always makes people cringe when I say this, but after 15 years in the disaster response space I know that it's tragically true. American's will support their own community. They'll support a community they vacation in. They'll support a community if a celebrity tells them to, or if their favorite sports team plays there. But if it's a community full of down-on-their-luck Americans? Nah. It's a sad state of affairs. A few years ago, when a horrific wildfire ripped through Maui, I received multiple phone calls from TR donors within an hour of each other, each pledging $1 million or more. After two or three, I had to answer the phone and tell them that Team Rubicon was no longer accepting donations for that disaster, conscious that our org may not be able to spend the funds efficiently enough (wildfires are sometimes challenging for orgs like us to operate in - another story). Later that same week, Hurricane Idalia hit the panhandle of Florida - devastating a swath of communities nobody had ever heard of. I called those same donors back, did they still have funds available? Some of them feigned interest, but ultimately we heard things like, "I just don't feel a connection with that community." In some ways that's fair. It's natural to have a more visceral reaction to a place you've spent time and developed memories with your family and friends. However, looking at disaster support through this lens leads to a massive imbalance in aid that disproportionately impacts poor and minority communities. I'm not going to pretend that I have the answers. I don't. But I can at least give voice to the issue and challenge Americans from all walks of life to not watch what happens over the next 48 hours with apathy. Those are our neighbors - let's treat them as such. #CSR #philanthropy #disasters #EMS #charity #nonprofit #poverty #teamrubicon #socialimpact #hurricanehelene #hurricane

Parts of Louisiana experienced an EF 1 and 2 tornado. Here is some information that will help you better understand response times and how the government determines disaster funding. What you need to understand is: 1. Each state must meet a damage threshold (estimated cost of damages) to be considered for federal funding. 2. Local and state officials begin to assess damages as soon as its "safe," to do so. 3. Immediately after a disaster and while the government surveys the seen, it is best to contact your local nonprofit or faith base community for assistance (only in the affected area) Follow along as I begin to break down this process tomorrow.

Great layout about the reality of disasters.

Emergency preparedness and disaster recovery are vital and need to include everyone, including those with disabilities!
