Irish Emergency Alliance ’s Post

$640.9 million of available funds for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities. Yesterday, I heard Alejandro Mayorkas say in a speech that FEMA won't have enough funds to cover another hurricane in the US. Mayorkas did mention that FEMA had enough to cover Helene, but it wouldn't have enough if another hurricane hit the US. This got me to do a little digging, and I found the below on the FEMA website. "For Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will provide $640.9 million of available funds to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with noncitizen migrant arrivals in their communities." - see the link and what cities received or will receive the funds. I am curious to know if this is a common practice, one and two, I don't know if $640 million is enough to cover the needs of another Hurricane. But shouldn't the money be earmarked for US citizens before noncitizen migrants? How does this work? I would like to hear your thoughts if you know something about this. Thanks!

We want to thank Plan South America for supporting our work in #ElChoco. For the past 5 years, #ChildrenChangeColombia has been working with 72 Afro-Colombian communities in the San Juan River Valley, advancing ethno-education and peacebuilding efforts. However, escalating armed conflict in the region has created new challenges, pushing us to take action alongside #ACADESAN. Together, we’re launching a transformative project to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to families impacted by the conflict. Our initiative aims to address the urgent needs of displaced communities while laying the foundation for long-term resilience in Chocó. As part of this effort, we're constructing a multipurpose hall that will serve as an emergency shelter for families who have been forced to flee their homes due to rising violence. This new space will provide not just a safe haven, but also essential services and support during emergencies. The hall will also be a vital community hub for local activities, from sports practices to town meetings, fostering social cohesion and empowering those affected to rebuild stronger bonds. Thank you to #PlanSouthAmerica for supporting this project and helping us continue providing vital resources to families affected in the region by forced displacement due to violence and / or environmental factors. To date, 137 families in emergency situations have been assisted already, as we lay the foundation and begin construction on the New Shelter. Through collaboration and innovative solutions, we're committed to supporting Chocó's communities in their time of need. Together, we can bring hope, stability, and lasting change to the region. #HumanitarianAssistance #EmergencyProject #CommunityResilience

Disasters are becoming more frequent and complex. Far too often, they are personally devastating - disrupting financial stability, increasing stress, impairing overall well-being - ultimately impacting the resiliency of families, businesses and communities. And, preparedness and partnership provide hope. With each instance providing an opportunity to reflect and evolve, Dow's Employee Relief Fund was born in 2021 in collaboration with E4E Relief. Through this equitable, 24/7/365 solution, $1MM+ in direct financial assistance has been distributed to 1,500+ colleagues across the globe to date, reducing the impact of disasters and complex humanitarian events.

What can the world do to prevent such atrocities? I think first of all it must form "war police", something like "traffic police", under UN justice institutions like ICJ . It's duty must be to estimate the effect of non-proportional arms which are used and their production companies to be fined proportional to devastation their arms have created. This is only a new idea which must be expanded by dedicated people to humanity cause. This is not a covert thing that military-industrial complexes are main causes of many of recent wars in the globe.The hefty interest that they have acquired caused they become a decisive factor for devastating humanity!! They have money to buy extremists in both sides of every important issue by infiltrating in them as overtly is shown in Syria and covertly in 7 October Hamas cruel- some activities!! They showed have money to say and show what they want in mainstream. They showed can persuade their anti-humanistic policy in main western nations like US,Germany,UK ... They showed even can persuade the supervising institutions of US in their favor! Now this dark stain in human history, which it's human casualties will never be covered; and ,unfortunately , as this savage genocide sowed the seeds of eternal war which is exactly these zombie companies want has been an eternal spot for their cruel ideas!! How humanity can curb these zombies? What lessons we learned in this 15 months? Learning these lessons ties to the fate of humanity, which all of us must use it for better future

The fourth phase of GOAL's RELIEF project in Syria, funded by the European Commission - ECHO and other donors, has made a significant impact in Northwest Syria, assisting over one million people from May 2023 to May 2024. This support is crucial as communities recover from the devastating February 2023 earthquakes. Key Impact 🤝 800k+ people provided with regular access to clean piped water 💧 130k+ people in earthquake-affected areas received emergency WASH support 🚿 65k+ individuals provided with cash assistance to meet urgent needs 💶 130k people received winterisation aid ❄️ 73k supported with cash-based food assistance 🛒 Mary Van Lieshout, Deputy CEO, GOAL, highlights, "After 13 years of conflict and the Türkiye-Syria earthquakes of February 2023, over 4 million people in Northwest Syria are struggling to cope with displacement, homelessness, and diminishing access to food and basic services. The EU’s support to GOAL ensures that we can reach the most vulnerable families with integrated, conflict-sensitive programmes that centre on strengthening Syrian communities’ resilience against the critical challenges they continue to face.” Looking ahead, under the SANAD phase, GOAL will expand its cash-based food assistance and build dignified shelters for displaced families.
