This team! I fought hard to make hazard mitigation a core function of @PhilaOEM, including $ to support staff. Here they are, killing it! @egiardina_ you rule! Philly residents deserve a plan that works for ALL of them! TY @DVRPC for hosting & @FEMAregion3 are the best partners!
OEM's Hazard Mitigation team (Emma + Noah) did a GREAT job organizing today's agenda + participants.
Several discussions around equity + inclusion as well as celebrating over $26million of potential projects.
The work is tedious - we're lucky to have such a passionate team!
To our @PhilaOEM team, tonight’s game was a heartbreaker, but you all put so many hard-worked hours into helping our City prepare for a safe night. Bravo to you all! Now get some rest and see you later this week at the hot wash 😉
Thank you to our special guest, FEMA Region 3 Administrator MaryAnn Tierney, who visited our EOC to pass along years of experience and insight in emergency management to staff and discuss the critical partnership between our agencies.
This week, City Council adopted our 2022 All-Hazard Mitigation Plan update. The plan prioritized equity, climate change, and the ability to integrate it. The HMP examines risks the city faces and ways to reduce them. Read more on our website ➡️https://t.co/GUeLKhJyVr
