Shaping Urban Resilience: working together on disaster response and

preparedness:

American Red Cross

December13, 2012

What We Do

The Red Cross responds on the scene of emergencies to help provide for the urgent needs of disaster victims. We focus on providing:

safe shelter

feeding victims and emergency workers

mental health and emotional support services

first aid and health services, and

emergency relief supplies

Red Cross casework is also an important part of our relief services. Our caseworkers can meet one-on-one with clients to help them plan for long-term recovery.

Priority Partnerships

Priority partnerships with agencies such as FEMA, DoD, Veterans Administration, Department of Health and Human Services

Ongoing communication and coordination with non-governmental organization partners, such as NVOAD and planning/coordination with state and local government officials and agencies

Collaborations with private sector partners and donors

Coordination with Government

The American Red Cross

recognizes Government as

a vital partner in executing

its historic mission. While

maintaining independence,

the American Red Cross will

continually seek

opportunities to strengthen

and improve this

partnership to accomplish

our shared objectives.

17

Government Partners?* FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure

that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our

capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and

mitigate all hazards.

NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command)

Plans, organizes, and executes homeland defense and civil support

missions.

CDC (Center for Disease Control)

and communities need to protect their health

of all Americans and providing essential human services.

*list not representative of all government partners

How Do We Work Together? The National Response Framework

The National Response Framework (NRF) presents the guiding

principles that enable all response partners to prepare for and provide

a unified national response to disaster

American Red Cross relief operations integrate into this framework

and trains staff and volunteers to help ensure a unified response with

government, private, and other nonprofit partners.

MOU’s The Red Cross has signed Memoranda’s of Understanding (MOU’s) with

over 13 government agencies, most states and local governments on how

we work together in disaster management

Inter-Agency Plans & Exercises The American Red Cross regularly meets with local, state, and federal

stakeholders for preparedness planning and exercise activities.

Moving Resiliency from

Concept to Reality

Ellis M. Stanley, Sr. ellisstanleysr@gmail.com

Unprecedented events demand unique leadership.

Move beyond the “silo mentality” to build connectivity across organizations and sectors.

Must begin at the most fundamental level and that’s the local level.

Resiliency must be about growing through challenges and not simply about bouncing back.

What Disaster Resilience Means

• The capability to protect against or mitigate significant all-hazard threats and incidents and to quickly recover and reconstitute critical services with minimum damage to public safety and health, the economy and national security

• It’s about adapting—

• Having vision, focus, follow-through and fortitude—

• Embracing the “new normal”

“How to take a licking and keep on ticking”

The Resilience Tautology

Resilient assets, infrastructures and communities require resilient regions

Resiliency requires understanding which assets and services are critical in any scenario

Understanding criticality depends upon understanding interdependencies among infrastructures and other stakeholder organizations (criticality is dynamic)

Understanding interdependencies requires cross-sector and multi-jurisdiction information sharing from the grass roots to national levels, cross-border and all sectors

This information sharing requires the creation of an environment of trust where stakeholders feel ‘safe’ to share their vulnerabilities, ideas, and work together

What Community Resilience Requires

Recognition by one or more influential local leaders

of the importance of cooperation and collaboration because of interdependencies

Willingness of a state, local government or a non-profit organization to mobilize and facilitate a partnership

Have a process to enable regional stakeholders and community leaders to mutually identify needs and solutions

Developing ways to provide encouragement, technical expertise, resources, and sustainability to improve disaster resilience

Providing best practices that key stakeholders can customize to meet community & organizational needs

Radical Resilience

Radically turbulent times demand professional and personal responses that transcend our regular work and life patterns.

It’s not about hanging on while holding back.

Radical resilience requires the courage to challenge, commit, and contribute in ways that positively impact both today as well as many tomorrows.

All the different definitions of resiliency should incorporate the skills of

• adaptability

• agility

• alignment for producing solid results

The five connections of sustainability that allow individuals and organizations to thrive in a constantly changing world are vested in leadership qualities.

Renew your commitment as leaders to develop yourself and others so that you stay focused on what matters most.
