Vertical Preparedness: Additional Preparedness Considerations for Multi-level Living

Thursday  February 1, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET

Please join the Region 2 National Preparedness Division for a webinar on what additional steps you can take to be better prepared when living or working in multi-level buildings. This webinar will review some of the key components to consider when planning how you can best protect yourself during a building emergency.  Living and working in buildings with multiple floors with staircases and elevators adds additional complexities on how individuals plan for and respond to a multitude of emergencies. Being able to recognize the characteristics and protocols of the buildings that you live and work are critical to making your own plans whether you are a resident, staff or leadership of the building. Part of this planning should also consider those in your family or building that may find themselves needing additional support.   Who should attend? The whole community, managers and residents of multi-level properties. Registration:   https://fema.connectsolutions.com/verticalpreparedness/event/registration.html Make sure to test your Adobe Connect before the meeting. This event will have Live Captioning.

https://www.klfy.com/louisiana/report-louisiana-ranks-among-worst-in-u-s-for-wellbeing-of-black-children/amp/ Report: Louisiana ranks among worst in U.S. for wellbeing of Black children Allison Bruhl BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — A new report shows that Louisiana has the third-lowest score in the country for the well-being of Black children.   The Race for Results report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation analyzes the well-being of U.S. children and gives states a composite score by race and ethnicity using 12 indicators representing wellbeing milestones “from cradle to career.”   Data shows that Louisiana scored below the national average for every racial and ethnic group except American Indian and Alaskan Native children.   The report said Louisiana ranked No. 44 out of 46 states in well-being for Black children, No. 39 out of 50 states for Latino children, No. 44 out of 50 states for well-being of white children and No. 43 out of 50 states for well-being for children of two or more races. Recommendations made in the report to create a brighter future for children include: · Expand federal and state tax credits and earned income tax credits for low-income families. · Design programs that help families provide for their child’s future while reducing racial disparities. · Expand Medicaid coverage. Agenda for Children, an organization based in New Orleans, gave more insight into how disparities in education are affecting Louisiana children. The group said young Black and Latino Louisianans are less likely to be proficient readers compared to white peers, adding that the gap was bigger in 2022 than in 2011. However, there are signs of improvement, Agenda for Children said, as fourth-grade reading proficiency improved by 5 percentage points for Black and Latino students and 7 percentage points for white students.

We must become a Ray of Hope for Gulf Coast Region.  As a Black Father in America there is no reason we can't turn this narrative around.

It's an Opportunity to Become United to bring Families closer and we accept the Challenge.

I am ready to leave a New Footprint.

2024 Mayor Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program.

 

John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20004   Phone: (202) 727-2643 Email: muriel.bowser@dc.gov Chief of Staff: Lindsey Parker City Administrator: Kevin Donahue Director of the Mayor's Office of Legal Counsel: Eugene Adams Senior Advisor: Beverly Perry Director of Mayor's Office of Community Affairs: Jackie Reyes-Yanes Scheduling Requests: mayor.dc.gov/page/invite-mayor                                       January 26, 2024 Letter from the Mayor Dear Washingtonians, On Monday, we launched applications for the 2024 Mayor Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program. For 45 years, MBSYEP has been providing a fair shot to thousands of young people in DC. There is just no other program in the nation like it. The day before he was nominated for an Oscar, we heard from Jeffrey Wright about how the Summer Youth Employment Program opened up new possibilities for him.  A testament to the longevity of MBSYEP, after we heard about Jeffrey's experience in 1982, we also heard from Mychael, a current senior at School Without Walls and a talented young Washingtonian, about his more recent experience. Mychael is a participant in Young Doctors DC, which has been an important MBSYEP partner for the past ten years.  Both Jeffrey and Mychael's stories underscore what the Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program is all about: it is a collection of great programs and employers who raise their hand and say I'm committed to having an enriching experience for young people, where I'm teaching them something in particular, but I'm also teaching them how to work, I'm teaching them how to dream, and I'm exposing them to different occupations.  Applications are now open for young people between the ages of 14 and 24 at summerjobs.dc.gov. Sincerely, View photos from this week on Facebook.
