Response & Recovery. Time to Expose and make our communities more resilient physically & mentally
During times of natural disasters and
evacuation of residents and communities, can these crisis events also be a time
to address other social crisis events from homelessness, human slavery, sex
trafficking, and other issues thru evaluation, and therapy from the trauma
of natural events to individuals and families?
Rebuilding communities to be more resilient physically and mentally.

Regional Support to the Caribbean - CDEMA Emergency Assistance Fund.
BEMA
International Members, Friends, and Associates:
Rarely
do I promote or endorse for donations organizations providing assistance in
times of disasters due to my understanding of ‘disaster capitalism’,
institutionalized\culturally acceptable corruption, outrageous administration
and operating expenses of some entities.
For
the past 12-hours till now (5:30am ET) I have been monitoring the forecasts,
temperature, and path of Tropical Storm Maria that may pick-up speed to reach
the U.S. Coastlines (Gulf, Florida, or Eastern Seaboard). Its’ immediate affect will be on the
nations of the Caribbean, Cuba, Haiti, Virgin Islands (territories of U.S.,
and GB).
CDEMA
has setup a disaster relief fund to provide assistance to all member nations
of the Caribbean, Haiti, and hopefully assistance that will not be provided
by our current administration to Cuba.
If
fundraising opportunities are still being conducted please consider the
island nations of the Caribbean to receive some portion by providing it
directly to the CDEMA Emergency Assistance Fund.
To Mr. Ronald Jackson,
Executive Director CDEMA,
and all member nations and friends within CDEMA, within BEMA International “We Stand As One” and I and every
member of the association stand with you.
In
December 2017 CDEMA (Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency) has
scheduled its bi-annual conference on disaster risk management. Hopefully this event will take place
following the 2017 hurricane season.
This was a time to further our association relationship with Emergency
Management\Disaster professionals of CDEMA member nations, Haiti, and Cuba.
Peace
unto each of you. God’s speed.
Sincerely,
Charles
D. Sharp
