FEMA’s Post

Resiliency is the cornerstone of effective crisis management in government and military domains. It empowers individuals and organizations to face challenges head-on, learn from setbacks, and emerge stronger than ever. Let's stand together in admiration of the resiliency that shapes our collective future. #FacingChallenges #LearningFromSetbacks #StrongerTogether Image by LoboStudioHamburg from pixabay Image by FelixMittermeier from pixabay

A recent snapshot from the Marine Corps Integrated Prevention Forum, held from August 6-8, 2024, at the Alfred M. Gray Marine Corps Research Center in Quantico, VA, captures a key event organized by Headquarters Marine Corps Marine and Family Programs Division. This forum was instrumental in furthering the Department of Defense’s (DoD) and Integrated Primary Prevention Workforce (IPPW) mission. The forum united civilians and Service members to: • Enhance Collaboration: Build cross-functional partnerships that strengthen and unify prevention strategies across the DoD. • Share Knowledge: Explore and discuss innovative practices and tools tailored to the DoD’s primary prevention objectives. • Strengthen Integration: Align prevention efforts with the DoD’s mission to proactively prevent and address adverse outcomes, reinforcing the role of the IPPW. By advancing these collaborative efforts and integrating effective prevention strategies, the Marine Corps and the broader IPPW community continue to work towards a healthier, safer environment in line with DoD’s primary prevention goals. #PrimaryPrevention #IPPW #PreventionWorkforce #DoD #MarineCorps #IntegratedPrevention #IPPW #DoDPrevention #Collaboration #MarineCorpsFamily #PreventionInitiatives

“Calm is contagious” is a mantra of the US Navy Seals. The lesson is, when we panic or are reactionary, we amplify our problems. Whereas remaining calm allows us to think clearly and rationally about the best path forward, and preserve our energy reserves. While the Navy Seals may leverage this wisdom to perform their own highly specialized duties, the “Calm is contagious” mantra is certainly transferable to the world of crisis management (and life in general). When it comes to crisis, reactionary actions and responses always create more problems (making a mountain of a molehill). It is my job to be the calm my clients need in their moment of crisis, and guide them in moving forward - “Calm is contagious” is always the mantra I lead with. #crisispr #crisismanagement #issuesmanagement

Complacency kills This was what we preached in 2003 during the Iraq war It was a phrase constantly heard before we stepped foot outside of our base During training for future deployments, we taught this to the newer Marines coming up In war, it serve us well Back home, after years of complacency, it could serve us again Complacency hits us hardest when: -We are tired -We are sheltered -We have been going through the same routine for long periods of time Many are suffering from an epidemic of complacency -Years of neglected health -Going through the motions in our relationships -Overestimating the time we have to accomplish our goals So, how do you overcome complacency? 1 - Have a strong vision 2 - Be completely honest with yourself on where you are lacking 3 - Surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable 4 - Take some risk If we are to reawaken the warrior within, we must kill complacency first See you on the battlefield What are your thoughts on complacency in today’s society? #complacencykills #usmc #growthmindset #mindset

As someone who is typically conflict-averse, this is something I need to practice. As the Smart Brief editor put it, peacekeeping is a short-term solution. In order to build trust, cohesion, and harmony, issues must be confronted head-on and conflicting feelings and desires must be addressed.
