🌏 Today is International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction, which is all about empowering the next generation for a resilient future. The future starts with us and that is why we're highlighting how we can all become more resilient. Emergencies and traumatic events can be overwhelming, often leaving people feeling drained emotionally and physically. That’s where Australian Red Cross volunteers step in. In times of disaster, our volunteers deliver Psychological First Aid (PFA) which offer emotional support, practical help, and connecting those affected with vital resources. PFA is compassionate care at its core, ensuring safety, calm, and access to the support needed for long-term recovery. ❤️ If you’re interested in PFA, head to the link below to learn more about becoming an Emergency Service volunteer. https://brnw.ch/21wNIbz
The FEMA Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may occur where they live. The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

Disasters affect people. Responses should be tailored to fit their needs. But after a disaster, the most vulnerable individuals, children, families, and communities often have increased challenges on their road to recover. The Administration for Children and Families, or ACF, supports vulnerable children, individuals, and families through its diverse human services programs and grants. That’s why ACF believes human services are essential for supporting people before, during, and after a disaster. In our 2nd post, we’re introducing you to Disaster Human Services. It’s the bridge between emergency management and human services programs, and a key mission of the Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR). The new OHSPER video explains how focusing on Disaster Human Services during preparedness, response, and recovery planning and operations can make sure the most vulnerable receive the right services at the right time.

Your Safety plan needs to be adapted at the beginning of school, but a solid plan should always be in place.
“While emergencies can be scary, kids can cope better if they know what to expect,” said Tom Sivak, regional administrator, FEMA Region 5. “Children and youth are empowered through understanding risks and knowing how to protect themselves. Empowered youth can help involve their families, peers, and communities in disaster preparedness.” #EmergencyManagement #YavapaiCounty #BackToSchool #EmergencyPreparedness #CommunityPreparedness #CommunityResilience #PreparedNotScared #GenasysProtect #KnowYourZone #Preparedness #ReadySetGo #EmergencyPlan #FamilyPlan #EmergencyKit
