Prepare, Respond, Recover with your Tax Dollars. IT's YOUR RIGHT. October 2018


We must prepare and plan for future disasters.  Climate change is real and the frequency and intensities of natural disaster will become more intense.

We must move forward as a collective and utilize our rights to the funding and other opportunities that we not only paid for in blood, sweat and tears, but thru annual taxes to both the State and Federal governments.  These are our monies that must be used for our purposes.

Keep in mind the following numbers:
1.      Five individuals for (primary & secondary’s) for CERT Train-the-Trainer and Program Manager Courses
2.      Twenty to twenty-five community members to start a CERT Team.


Please review information listed below on creation of a CERT Corp Council/Program registration process for username and password.

Citizen Corps Council / CERT Program Registration
Registration Overview
FEMA is asking all new and existing local Citizen Corps Councils and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Programs to register or re-register on the National Citizen Corps and CERT websites.

FEMA has two newly improved online registries that will demonstrate community readiness efforts of local Citizen Corps Councils and CERT Programs.

Providing a snapshot of local success, the registries collect and share over 100 data points for each registered Council and CERT Program.

New data collected will allow Councils and CERT Programs to share information highlighting community partnerships and activities among government and civic leaders, integration of non-governmental resources into government plans and protocols, local efforts to improve personal and organizational preparedness, and volunteer programs and volunteer disaster response activities.

Councils and CERT Programs are sponsored by local emergency management or elected leaders and registry submissions are reviewed by each State before being posted on the website.

Every Citizen Corps Council and CERT Program is required to re-register as if they were creating a new Citizen Corps Council or CERT Program – even if they previously registered – if they wish to have a listing in the Citizen Corps and CERT directory.  Please note that only Citizen Corps Councils and CERT Programs may register.  The registry is not for individual CERT Teams that are organized within a CERT Program.

Outreach and Assistance
FEMA will promote registration through different channels to encourage and guide Citizen Corps Council and CERT Program leaders in updating their Council’s or Program’s online profiles. Outreach and assistance efforts include:
• Series of webinars that walk users through the registration process from the perspectives of a Citizen Corps Council coordinator, a CERT Program coordinator, or a state or Regional CERT or Citizen Corps coordinator
• How-to guides for Councils / CERT Programs
• Outbound calling and follow-up emails to all Citizen Corps Councils and CERT Programs to encourage participation and serve as a reminder to complete registration process
• Technical assistance will be provided by State Citizen Corps Council Coordinators and State CERT Program Coordinators. State Coordinators should contact FEMA Regional Community Preparedness Program Managers as needed. Technical difficulties and comments regarding the registration forms should be reported to CitizenCorps@dhs.gov or CERT@dhs.gov.

To begin registering and to obtain current information and guidance documents for registration, go to the Citizen Corps and CERT Program websites at


The websites will provide how-guides, recorded instructional tutorials, other resources, and up-to-date information.

Outcome
This effort will provide the public and organizations with accurate information; information which will emphasize the tremendous work accomplished to date and serve as a baseline for future individual and community preparedness and resiliency projects. Information sharing is a critical component of building and sustaining preparedness nationwide.

The data collected will provide needed information to community residents and showcase innovative practices for replicating local achievements.

Data can be also be used to generate reports at the local, state, regional, and federal level, as well as guide FEMA’s mission.

Response Efforts Continue for Hurricane Michael Survivors

October 16, 2018
WASHINGTON –  As the response to Hurricane Michael continues, local and state responders, federal teams and voluntary agencies continue providing assistance to help survivors begin their recovery.

“Disaster response works best when it is locally executed, state managed and federally supported,” said FEMA Administrator Brock Long. “FEMA is coordinating round-the-clock efforts by thousands of trained responders. Whether it is FEMA personnel, voluntary organizations or members of the military, there are a lot of people working to help survivors.”

Since Michael’s landfall, search and rescue teams from FEMA, the U.S. Coast Guard, National Guard and others, working alongside state responders and volunteers, have completed 152 evacuations, 4,194 rescues/assists, 21,568 shelter in place checks, and 2,100 animal assists. More than 27,000 structural assessments were completed in Florida.

FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance teams are in Florida helping survivors register for assistance. More than 36,000 individuals in Florida contacted FEMA for help and information, including for disaster assistance and referrals to federal, state and voluntary agency sources of disaster assistance.

Sixteen different states are sending support through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. More than 35 missions are active in Florida; there are three missions active in Georgia. Nearly 500 people deployed to assist missions in both states.

Additionally, more than 30,000 utility workers from several states are assisting with power restoration missions throughout the impacted areas.

Distribution sites are providing meals, water and other items in areas where stores are not open, or where supplies are limited.  For locations:
  • Florida residents should visit FloridaDisaster.org.
  • Georgia residents should visit Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency's website.

Residents in the impacted areas should:
  • Keep yourself and your family safe. Return home only if you are told it is safe by local officials. As you clear debris please look carefully around the debris for any visible cables. If you see any cables, wait for professional help.  Power cables can kill easily.
  • Be strong. Focus on your specific needs and take care of one another. Shelters are providing information, charging stations, and connection to assistance from federal, state, and voluntary agencies. They also have communications support, so you can contact loved ones and let them know you’re safe.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Register for assistance online at DisasterAssistance.gov if you have damages not covered by insurance. Contact the Disaster Distress Helpline by texting TalkWithUs to 66746 or call 1-800-985-5990 (for Spanish, press 2 or text Hablanos to 66746) to speak with a trained crisis counselor.
  • Get started on your recovery. Photograph/video damages, and then begin cleaning up. Contact your insurance company to file a claim

Other federal, private sector and voluntary organizations response actions include:

Survivors Urged to Listen to Local Officials and Only Return Home When Safe

October 13, 2018

 Safety Messages for the Public

  • Stay safe and follow local guidance. Do not return home until you are told it is safe. Be aware of blocked roads and possible structural, electrical or gas-leak hazards. Shut off power natural gas and propane tanks if you know how.
  • Monitor the weather. Avoid strenuous cleanup work during the warmest part of the day, use insect repellent, and stay away from wild or stay animals. Check with utility companies to find out when electricity and gas services may be restored.
  • Ensure food and water are safe. Water can be contaminated or unsafe. Be prepared to boil water to drink, cook or clean with after a hurricane.
  • File an insurance claim. Photograph/video damages before you start cleaning up. Contact your insurance company for assistance.
  • Send money, not stuff. Cash can be used immediately in response to a crisis. A financial contribution to a recognized disaster relief organization is the most effective donation to make.
