“After a disaster, people need a release valve...they need to talk and be heard. We must have a human-centered approach to recovery.” S. McGlynn, Santa Rosa. Nonprofits often play that role in communities.
Sean McGlynn, City Manager of Santa Rosa - “Neighbors helping neighbors saved a lot of lives.” Those relationships is what @sfvoad is all about. Come to our events to meet other local nonprofits who you might need in a crisis.
@PGE4Me will need space in SF to set up basecamp’s after a big quake. They can use parking lots and open lots to serve those in your community. - Evermary Hickey #Epicenter2018
It is important that your workforce reflects the people in your community. Chief Hayes-White, SFFD on the Diversity in Emergency Management panel at #epicenter2018
People w/ disabilities & seniors consider having a local buddy for help post-disaster. Don’t rely on gov’t. They won’t be able to help everyone at the same time. Your family might not be able to get to you quickly. Carol Parks, Comm Prepare & Engmnt, City of LA #Epicenter2018
P. Palin, PI for Supply Chain Resilience. If supply chains don’t come back quickly after a disaster, it turns into a catastrophe. NPOs talk to the shops in your neighborhood to understand how they can support the most vulnerable when supplies will be so limited. #Epicenter2018
@DanielPAldrich - research shows that the stronger your ties to your neighbors and community, the more likely you are to survive a disaster and recover from a disaster. Nonprofits, your work building relationships in your community help make it more resilient. #Epicenter2018
Excited to be representing @sfvoad at #Epicenter, a conference to explore the best practices for #earthquake response and recovery in the Bay Area. Keeping @caravanstudios in mind.
SF City Administrator, Naomi Kelly, said the City is focusing on identifying critical streets to be reopened following a major quake. Is your org on a critical street? If not, how will your staff and volunteers get to your office and community?#Epicenter2018
