UN: Haitians aren't getting enough food
NOTE:
It's not a matter of just shipping off food supplies to assist Haiti. This is a prevaling problem since the devastating earthquake. Were long term risk assessments, rapid environmental, and rapid health assessments conducted to foresee problems that have affected Haiti since the earthquake (dysentery, sanitation, food supply, etc.). This does not involve a national level planning by the Haitian government, but local\division planning for all the divisions of Haiti.

UN: Haitians aren't getting enough food
Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The United Nations said Tuesday that a growing number of people in Haiti are not getting enough to eat following a heavy storm season that damaged food crops.
The humanitarian department of the U.N. mission in the Caribbean nation of 10 million people said in its monthly bulletin that a spike in malnutrition has been recorded in some areas since October. At least one in five households faces a serious food deficit and acute malnutrition despite efforts to reduce hunger, the study said.
Malnutrition is worst in Haiti's far western corner in the administrative department of Grande-Anse, the U.N. said. There have also been reports of acute malnutrition in southeastern Haiti.
Widespread flooding damaged crops in the country's south when Hurricane Sandy and Tropical Storm Isaac brushed Haiti last year.
The U.N. said that more than more than 1.5 million of Haiti's people are at risk of malnutrition because of crops lost in the hurricane. As much as 90 percent of Haiti's harvest season, much of it in the south, was destroyed in Sandy's floods.
New York Plans a High School of Emergency Management
BEMA Network Members and Non-Members:
Does Mayor Bloomberg and the City of New York have to lead the country in foreseeing the future of what's right for their communities.
There is a paradigm shift in all areas, and communities have to address issues that our elected officials and governments cannot fulfill for all. To ensure to eliminate disparity in communities out-of-box thinking has to occur.
Great job!

New York Plans a High School of Emergency Management
- By Adam Martin
Among the 78 new city schools Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced would open next fall will be the nation's first public high school of emergency management, one of the city's longer-term responses to Hurricane Sandy. According to NY1, the city worked with FEMA to plan the Urban Assembly School of Emergency Management, in which students will study things like meteorology, changes in flood zones, management, and communications. Not by coincidence, the school will open in a Manhattan school building that served as a shelter during the storm.

federal partners and whole community organizations to bring you new and revamped
tools to be financially prepared.
FEMA, the Ready Campaign, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and
Operation Hope are collaborating to bring you a free webinar on financial
preparedness for disasters and emergencies. This is one of many efforts
happening to support “Financial Capability Month” in April and promote
American’s starting early in financial literacy.
This webinar will focus on local
tools, services and assistance available to individuals, faith-based and
community based leaders, private sector organizations and emergency managers.
Presenters will provide information on how to incorporate current and upcoming
financial preparedness tools into local disaster preparedness education efforts
and how to get the community involved in an effort for
communities to start preparing for emergencies early.
In addition, attendees will learn
more about tools and guidance that protects the consumer rights of disaster
survivors. There will also be updates on new and revamped tools and resources to
make being financial prepared easy, including new Ready.gov and MyMoney.gov web pages, an updated version of the Emergency Financial First Aid Kit
