Drought Water Security. Globally Emergency and Disaster in the Making.
2% of the worlds water supply available for human consumption.
For the second decade of the 21st Century a global water supply issue is spreading due environmental issues, over population, and man's never ending need for more land, more construction, and the ever present assumption that the Earth and all its' resources are here for our consumption.
Drought, and water issues in urban and rural communities will continue. The old approach of "its not affecting me where I live" is not a valid reason for not being getting actively involved worldwide in this issue that affects us all locally and globally. Flint, Michigan, Cape Town, and other major cities are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of water issues that should be of everyones concern.
Get involved locally, regionally, and nationally in water security issues before it reaches your front door.

March 16, 2018. USAID Diaspora Open House
The United
States Agency for International Development's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster
Assistance (USAID/OFDA) will be holding a 2018 Diaspora Open House to celebrate
the efforts of U.S. diaspora groups who contribute to disaster relief efforts
around the world, and to share best practices in effective and efficient
responses to disasters. This Open House will bring
together
USAID/OFDA disaster experts and diaspora groups who will share and receive a
broader understanding of USAID/OFDA's unique disaster response capabilities,
and diaspora role in promoting the most efficient and effective ways to help
their heritage countries.
In addition, in partnership with Grand Challenges Canada, we will soon be
launching a Humanitarian Grand Challenge initiative to find more effective and
efficient ways of getting humanitarian aid to people who are hard to reach in
conflict-driven crises areas.
Please register online at: www. HumanitarianGrandChallenge.org ; we will be sending detailed information in
mid-February.
Also you can visit the USAID
Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) website at www.cidi.org to
