Hurricane
Preparedness for Coastal and Inland Communities
Tuesday, May 21,
2013
3:00 p.m. EDT
Join us at 3:00 p.m. EDT
on May 21 for a discussion of hurricane preparedness
activities in coastal and inland communities.
Hurricanes can cause catastrophic damage
not just to coastlines, but also several hundred miles inland. Hurricanes often
produce winds exceeding 155 miles, tornado outbreaks and severe flooding. Know
how to be ready. Know how to be prepared.
As a lead-in to National Hurricane Week
(May 26 to June 1), FEMA will be hosting a free webinar featuring FEMA’s
Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), Michael F. Byrne, who will discuss
hurricane preparedness lessons from Superstorm Sandy. In addition, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will provide an outlook of the 2013
hurricane season.
Local emergency response personnel will
also present innovative ways and promising practices to engage coastal and
inland communities in hurricane preparedness activities. These speakers will
highlight important effective local preparedness initiatives.

This knowledge helps a jurisdiction establish informed and defensible capability targets. Participants will identify threats and hazards of concern, give the threats and hazards context, examine the core capabilities, set capability targets, perform vulnerability and consequence assessments, and apply the results. The course delivery combines lecture, small group discussions, participant activities, and multimedia scenarios to improve the jurisdiction’s capability to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond to, or recover from all-hazards events. Participant Audience: Emergency response level, supervisory and/or management personnel who respond to or have oversight responsibility for incidents caused by terrorism, natural disaster, major accidents and all other hazards. Course participants include responders from the following disciplines/services: • Law Enforcement • Fire Service • Emergency Medical Services • Hazardous Materials • Public Health • Public Works • Emergency Management • Health Care • Emergency Communications • Governmental Administrative Personnel from the private sector, non-governmental organizations, schools, and the military are also allowed to attend if invited or approved by the host jurisdiction. Prerequisites: Participants should work in one of the listed disciplines, have completed a WMD/terrorism awareness level course, or be approved by the local jurisdiction host.

Gloria Carter
Ms. Carter is currently the CEO of the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. The Foundation was established by her and her son Shawn Carter after her retirement. The Foundation was essentially formed because Ms. Carter wanted to create “something that would enhance the future of our young people.” The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation is unique in that it offers scholarships to single mothers, children who attend alternative schools, students who have earned a GED, students with grade point averages of 2.0 and students who have previously been incarcerated, etc. but desire a higher educational opportunity. This group is generally not the recipients of college scholarships and is typically ignored by the Board of Education. The Shawn Carter Foundation offers scholarship opportunities to any under-served student across the United States who desires a higher education. One of the key questions asked by the Foundation when students apply for a scholarship is: What are your plans to give back to the community?”.
