The Village of Huntley's Police Department takes great pride in providing for the safety and well-being of our community’s residents and businesses. As emergency first responders, we have witnessed the benefits of being prepared and we encourage you to become our partner in emergency preparedness. Being ready for an emergency before it occurs is the first step to surviving a disaster. In order to help our residents and businesses be prepared for an emergency/disaster, we created an Emergency Preparedness Guide to provide crucial information so our community members can take actions to reduce their vulnerability to disasters. The steps taken to prepare before a disaster can make a dramatic difference in the ability to cope with and recover from a disaster, as well as the ability to protect household family members and family possessions from losses. Check out the Emergency Preparedness Guide here: https://loom.ly/7OMJXzo

Disasters affect people. Responses should be tailored to fit their needs. But after a disaster, the most vulnerable individuals, children, families, and communities often have increased challenges on their road to recover. The Administration for Children and Families, or ACF, supports vulnerable children, individuals, and families through its diverse human services programs and grants. That’s why ACF believes human services are essential for supporting people before, during, and after a disaster. In our 2nd post, we’re introducing you to Disaster Human Services. It’s the bridge between emergency management and human services programs, and a key mission of the Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR). The new OHSPER video explains how focusing on Disaster Human Services during preparedness, response, and recovery planning and operations can make sure the most vulnerable receive the right services at the right time.

Planning ahead can make all the difference in an emergency. Here are some key steps to help you and your loved ones stay safe: Know the Risks: Learn about potential dangers in your area, like wildfires, earthquakes, or floods. Stay Informed: Familiarize yourself with your community's disaster response plan and know the evacuation routes. Build Your Kits: Create emergency kits for home, work, and your car. Include essentials like water, food, medication, and first aid supplies. Communication is Key: Develop a crisis communications plan. Make sure everyone in your family knows how to stay in touch and where to meet if you get separated. Get Involved: Connect with local emergency services and volunteer organizations to stay informed and help your community. Preparation can save lives!

“While emergencies can be scary, kids can cope better if they know what to expect,” said Tom Sivak, regional administrator, FEMA Region 5. “Children and youth are empowered through understanding risks and knowing how to protect themselves. Empowered youth can help involve their families, peers, and communities in disaster preparedness.” #EmergencyManagement #YavapaiCounty #BackToSchool #EmergencyPreparedness #CommunityPreparedness #CommunityResilience #PreparedNotScared #GenasysProtect #KnowYourZone #Preparedness #ReadySetGo #EmergencyPlan #FamilyPlan #EmergencyKit

💥News from FEMA Today💥 FEMA has announced that it is reforming its disaster assistance program to help survivors recover faster. 👏 We are excited that FEMA is making positive program changes to benefit disaster survivors! 🔗 Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eCB7Q7nF In summary, FEMA states that it will be: 1️⃣ Establishing new benefits that provide flexible funding directly to survivors when they need it most. 2️⃣ Cutting red tape and expanding eligibility to reach more people and help them recover faster, while building back stronger. 3️⃣ Simplifying the application process to meet survivors’ individual needs and meeting people where they are. 📆 FEMA expects the changes to be effective for disasters declared on or after 3/22/2024.

Does your family have an emergency plan? What would you do if there was a fire, a tornado, or another emergency situation? This past week has been one of those situations here in Middle Tennessee as we have dealt with frigid temps and travel difficulties. If you fail to prepare, you are at the mercy of the incident you experience. Some basic things every family should have in an emergency plan include emergency kits for each family member (go bags) and plans for what to do in the event of a fire or natural disaster. First, figure out the best evacuation route and where your family will meet outside in case you get separated. Also, figure out the safest place in your home for shelter in place situations. And then, make an emergency kit good for three days in the event of disaster. Here is a link to FEMA’s checklist for an emergency kit: https://www.ready.gov/kit. If you would like pointers on building a kit on a budget, check out in of our preparedness classes.

Did you hear Dr Millie Rooney last week, talking about our Care through Disaster project with the ABC Radio Tasmania Mornings program? “We tend to frame responses to disaster, particularly when we’re talking about things like evacuation centres, as very individual. You know, have you got your kit ready, are you prepared? I would like to see us shift to a more collective response", Millie said. “So, for example, I would really like to see a push for governments to think about a four day work week, or a universal basic income. Now that might sound like a bit a disconnect from disaster, but again, what this research shows is if we are going to accomodate individual needs, we actually need the capacity before disaster strikes to be able to build those commune networks. “To join the SES, to join the fire brigade, to get a chainsaw license, so that we can care for each other as a community. Communities do a huge amount of that care work, but we need resourcing and funding and support from government at all levels.” How would you like to see governments support communities to better care for each other?
