FEMA announces the release of a job aid on the use of contract support for the development of Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant applications.
This document presents eight common HMA application development scenarios and provides guidelines to address procurement issues related to non-federal use of contracted support for the development HMA applications elements.
The job aid was developed to ensure compliance with procurement regulations found in the “Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards” (2 C.F.R. Part 200).

Resiliency Building. Preparedness, Response, Recovery, Revitalization. Sierra Leone. Ebola Crisis
FYI…
Resiliency building within the emergency
management arena requires the involvement of all stakeholders: pubic officials and agencies, nonprofit, faith-based,
all private sector members, entrepreneurs are involved in rebuilding and
revitalization efforts of any community from the U.S., Europe, and other
communities throughout the world.
Within your community what
activities do corporations play in community engagement normal, and during
disasters?
Continued relationship building does not end
during a crisis, but increases the relationship of those affected during, and after the crisis.
The Social Progress Index (SPI), http://www.socialprogressimperative.org/data/spi
suffices as a functional measurement tool for social progress that could be
utilized by all stakeholders for review and discussion on community resiliency building.
We at BEMA will be focusing in on those private
sector contributions before, during, and after the Ebola crisis for the
revitalization of those nations affected.

Seawater greenhouses to bring life to the desert

- July 14, 2015

- Aston University
- Summary:
- Greenhouses that will use seawater to grow crops in one of the hottest and driest places on earth will be designed by researchers at Aston University working with industry partners as part of an international project.
- The installations are to be erected in specially selected sites across the Horn of Africa, a region where temperatures regularly breach 40°C, water is scarce and food insecurity is very high. Due to the climate, conventional agriculture has been severely marginalised and the situation is worsening.
- The project aims to overcome the region's inhospitable conditions to help farmers drastically increase their crop yields, providing them with a consistent, sustainable income. Currently in Somalia, only 1.5% of the country's land is cultivated and average annual crop yields per hectare are just 0.5 tons -- compared to 700 tons per hectare in commercial greenhouses.
- ..................................
- ..................................Once installed, the innovative greenhouses will pump seawater from the sea using solar energy and convert it into freshwater for irrigation via the desalination process.
