One of the biggest challenges for families and children in a disaster is displacement due to damage and destruction of housing. This disproportionally impacts families who live paycheck-to-paycheck, are on public assistance, or have nowhere to go. While emergency shelters provide "temporary" relief, these families and their children are known to become "more vulnerable" after these incidents. Here are four highly recommended resources to help inform your personal and community local planning and preparedness efforts: Helping Families Deal with the Stress of Relocation After a Disaster (ATSDR) https://lnkd.in/gGngXqZ5 Human Services and Disaster Displacement (HHS) Report https://lnkd.in/gP4nrYnr Understanding Post-Disaster Social Services for Children and Families (ACF) https://lnkd.in/g5nuusZR National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2021.

FEMA's Individual Assistance updates are a step in the right direction, but they're treating the symptoms, not the disease. We need a paradigm shift towards prevention, protection, and mitigation. Why? Because investing upfront saves lives, money, and heartache down the line. FEMA’s own data is clear: every dollar spent on mitigation saves six on response. That's not just a cost saving, it's a life-saving strategy. Imagine resilient communities, shielded by early warning systems, fortified buildings, and updated infrastructure. Imagine lives saved, anxieties quelled, and years of rebuilding avoided. This isn't just about immediate impact; it's about building a future where communities can weather any storm. Mitigation, Prevention, and protection strategies shorten recovery times, minimizes economic disruption, and fosters long-term resilience. It's about empowering communities, not just patching up the aftermath. So, let's ditch the reactive bandaids and embrace proactive solutions. Invest infrastructure, enhance community building codes, educate communities, and leverage technology. Let's make pre-disaster activity the cornerstone of our future, ensuring generations inherit a world where disasters are not nightmares, but manageable bumps in the road. #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness #commonsense
