All
disasters are local.
FEMA is
part of a complex-complex
system
within the emergency
management arena.
What would be the results of an inspection report of your local
emergency management office\agency at the State, County, City, and rural area?
We as a
collective within BEMA International are the premier organization representing
communities of color, communities at risk (CAR) that includes vulnerable
populations, Black, LatinX, and other communities at the table with a voice.
As a
member of BEMA International it is now time to step outside of your comfort
zone. Time for our private sector
members to give more financially to support our efforts as a member of the
‘whole community’ and by our narrative a member of the ‘community
imperative’.
We are
at the table, yet still when our voice is heard it still is bypassed until a
more conservative\non threatening acceptable member owns our narrative. It continues.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is
today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and
history there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is
still the thief of time. Life often
leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity. This may well be mankind’s last chance to
choose between chaos or community.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘Where Are We Going
From Here: Chaos or Community’.
