Hurricane Recovery

https://fema.connectsolutions.com/dr4399fl/

When Hurricane Michael made landfall on October 10, 2018, it was the strongest storm to ever hit the Florida Panhandle, with wind speeds of up to 155 mph. The storm moved quickly, prompting the evacuation of 140,000 people just one day after reaching hurricane status. In one more day, the storm would be gone, leaving at least 43 dead in Florida and destroying whole towns. But the recovery from Michael will be anything but fast, with estimated damage of at least $5 billion. REBUILD 850 was launched on November 1, 2018, just three weeks after Hurricane Michael made landfall, to keep North Florida’s recovery front and center and to marshal ongoing support. REBUILD 850 is co-chaired by former Florida House Speakers Allan Bense and Will Weatherford and former U.S. Representative Gwen Graham. They are joined by a diverse group of dedicated partner organizations urging citizens everywhere to visit, volunteer, donate, and invest in the region that has been so devastated by Hurricane Michael.

The Citizens’ Institute on Rural Design (CIRD) is intended to empower local citizens to capitalize on unique local and regional assets to guide the civic development and future design of their own communities. The CIRD program consists of two different opportunities. Up to three communities will be selected to host an on-site rural design workshop. The workshops will bring together local residents and leaders from nonprofits, community organizations, and government agencies to develop actionable solutions to the community’s specific design challenge. Each workshop includes a $10,000 stipend to the host community. Through the Learning Cohort Communities track, up to 20 rural communities (in addition to the three communities selected for on-site design workshops) will be selected to participate in a Learning Cohort. Rural community leaders from government, nonprofits, local businesses, and civic organizations will be invited to gather together for learning, training, and support to make their community’s vision a reality.

Instead of a “Washington-knows-best” approach, Regional Economic Diversification Summits (REDS) are designed to respond directly to locally identified economic development strategies and priorities. Bridging the Gap Between Planning and Implementation Each REDS is intended to catalyze project implementation. EDA and its federal partners can directly engage with communities and regions where stakeholders have: • Completed economic development strategic plans; • Identified economic growth objectives and related project priorities BUT lack the necessary resources to commence with project implementation at the speed or scale required for maximum impact. Event sponsors and potential attendees should note that participation in a REDS is not a grant program. Rather, this is a means for federal agencies, including but not limited to EDA, to establish partnerships with local stakeholders to help move regional economic diversification plans forward. Contact your regional EDA office for more information about scheduling a REDS in your community. EDA Regional Office

During every domestic disaster, one of the most vulnerable populations affected are immigrant individuals and families. To discuss the role that philanthropy can play in supporting immigrants and their communities in recovery from disasters, we are hosting a webinar with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) and Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative (HILSC).

The conversation will focus on:

• How private philanthropy can ensure funded organizations are truly addressing the identified needs of immigrants and their communities.
• Building equity in the disaster recovery phase for immigrants, communities of color, low-income communities and other vulnerable populations.
• Learning to be an agent of change for immigrants in building more resilient communities.
• The role of affinity groups in funding for these communities.
• How to talk to donors and potential donors about funding for the needs of immigrants, including those with sensitive document status.

After a disaster, people flock to the internet and social media to check on loved ones, ask questions, report that they need help, show damage, or seek resources. Affiliated and spontaneous volunteers use these platforms to coordinate their efforts, inform people where they can volunteer, or notify survivors where they can find assistance. Organizations, including FEMA, can gather this open-source content and curate the data into informative situational awareness (SA) products. That process is called crowdsourcing.

FEMA established a Crowdsourcing Unit to act as a liaison between the Digital Volunteer Networks (DVNs) and the emergency management community. To learn even more, plan to attend the FEMA Crowdsourcing Unit Webinar on July 17, 2019, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. ET. Learn about the program and how you can get involved. Attend remotely via Adobe Connect, VTC/MOVI 11458, or call 1-800-320-4330 Pin 284533#

FEMA and EPA are happy to announce a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding coordination on the use of State Revolving Funds to accelerate the delivery of assistance to disaster affected communities. This MOU intends to streamline coordination between FEMA and the EPA-funded State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs. The non-federal portion of the State Revolving Funds can be used as the non-federal cost share needed for FEMA-funded projects. This means that already cash-strapped communities do not need to struggle to use their own limited funds and can first use this funding to help restore vital water infrastructure more quickly in times of disaster. Getting things moving quickly and wisely can make a huge difference in the quality of life for disaster survivors.

The State of Grantseeking Survey spotlights recent developments in funding so that organizations can be more strategic in their grantseeking. This free report serves as a valuable benchmark for organizations to review their grantseeking efforts, report on performance, and plan. This leading-edge information is a key analytics tool for all organizations.

ACF will award approximately $2.4 million in Community Economic Development Focus on Social Enterprises (CED Social Enterprise) program funds. CED Social Enterprise program funds will be awarded to experienced Community Development Corporations (CDCs) for well planned, financially viable, and innovative projects sponsoring social enterprise incubators. These incubators will develop new products, services, and commercial activities that result in new positions for individuals with low incomes, while also addressing a local unmet need or solution to social problems for the community’s constituents and its stakeholders. Projects also address the personal and community barriers that must be overcome to help individuals with low incomes become self-sufficient (e.g., transportation, childcare, education/training, language, etc.) Projects must be located in geographic areas with a demonstrated need for social enterprise, such as a county designated as having persistent poverty. CED will consider geographic distribution to ensure projects are located across the country when making awards. CDC projects targeting rural communities with high rates of poverty, unemployment, and substance abuse will receive bonus points on their application.
