Community Resilience. The Community Preparedness Capability Performance Measures Introduction The Community Preparedness (CP) capability represents a set of core public health activities related to community resilience. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 21 (HSPD-21), released in 2007, defines community resilience as the following: “Where local civic leaders, citizens and families are educated regarding threats and are empowered to mitigate their own risk, where they are practiced in responding to events, where they have social networks to fall back upon, and where they have familiarity with local public health and medical systems, there will be community resilience that will significantly attenuate the requirement for additional assistance.”13 The directive also identifies community resilience as one of the ―four most critical components of public health and medical preparedness‖ (in addition to biosurveillance, countermeasure distribution, and mass casualty care). In addition to this directive, the National Health Security Strategy (NHSS), released in 2009, indicates that community resilience relies upon the ability of public health, healthcare, and emergency response systems to meet the needs of communities in preventing or mitigating the effects of an outbreak, incident, or disaster.14 Capability Definition CDC’s National Standards document defines community preparedness as ―the ability of communities to prepare for, withstand, and recover—in both the short and long terms—from public health incidents. By engaging and coordinating with emergency management, health care organizations (private and community-based), mental/behavioral health providers, community and faith-based partners, state, local, and territorial public health’s role in community preparedness is to do the following: Support the development of public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health systems that support recovery Participate in awareness training with community and faith-based partners on how to prevent, respond to, and recover from public health incidents Promote awareness of and access to medical and mental/behavioral health15 resources that help protect the community’s health and address the functional needs (i.e., communication, medical care, independence, supervision, transportation) of at-risk individuals Engage public and private organizations in preparedness activities that represent the functional needs of at-risk individuals as well as the cultural and socio-economic, demog...

Community Resilience. The budget includes a restoration of $35 million that had been targeted for reduction earlier in the year for the Extreme Heat and Community Resilience Program which provides grants to communities seeking to build or upgrade existing facilities to serve as community resilience centers that mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change. The budget includes trailer bill language allowing Community Resilience Centers at the Office of Planning and Research to be eligible for the Advanced Pay Pilot which enables grant recipients to receive payment for grant-related activities in advance rather than taking on cost associated with the grant. Waste and Recycling To help close budget shortfalls, the budget leverages money in the Beverage Container Recycling Fund (BCRF). The budget provides a loan of $100 million from the BCRF to the General Fund and an additional $40 million from the BCRF to the Hazardous Control Waste Account. This funding is intended to come from resources not currently projected to be used for operational or programmatic purposes and expected to be repaid within three years. There are no additional state resources on SB 1383 (Chapter No. 395, Statutes of 2016) implementation; however, CSAC is committed to continuing advocacy supporting counties with this state mandate given recent recommendations from the Little Xxxxxx Commission. Of the $180 million appropriated in last year’s budget to CalRecycle, $90 million remains to be allocated to local governments.
Community Resilience. In conjunction with its partner organizations, APNEP has a long history of working to protect and restore coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them as they face climate and natural hazard challenges, with a focus on estuarine ecosystems and the river basins and surrounding watersheds that flow into the Albemarle-Pamlico estuarine system. In addition to supporting research and the development of tools and models to help resource managers make informed decisions, APNEP continues to dedicate resources towards connecting communities to the best available science and tools as they develop resilience and adaptation planning strategies. APNEP’s focus on protecting and restoring water quality and submerged aquatic vegetation, protecting natural ecosystems and coastal habitats, supporting the use of natural infrastructure, and working with local governments and communities to incorporate climate resilience into local planning align with the coastal resources and infrastructure and ecosystem strategies outlined in the state and regional initiatives described below. APNEP continues to participate in activities stemming from implementation of the NC Climate Risk and Resilience Plan (RARP) including the Natural and Working Lands Stakeholder Team, Coastal Habitats and Pocosin Wetlands Subcommittees, Statewide Resilience Clearinghouse Steering Committee, Coastal Resilience Community of Practice, and the Regions Innovating for Strong Economies & Environment (RISE) program (all described in more detail below). Involvement in these efforts has led to identification of regional gaps and needs, notably related to gaps in participation and capacity of underserved and under-represented communities to participate in resilience planning activities. As a result, APNEP has focused effort on two regional projects: the Tribal Coastal Resilience Connections Project and Scuppernong Study described below, in addition to several projects geared towards developing resilience tools and resources for local governments and communities. APNEP has led efforts to develop project proposals in collaboration with interdisciplinary partners, secure funding, and facilitate regional partnerships for project implementation. We propose to use BIL funds to expand upon these efforts which benefit underrepresented and underserved communities: Scuppernong Study Engagement Strategy Development (Continuation of existing effort/ or expansion/model for other projects and regions): In partnersh...

Community Resilience. Use of Mung Bean as a cover, food, and feed crop - USAID/ERA is working with farmers in the Toubacouta region to test the cultivation of Mung Bean with the goals of improving nutritional quality diets of food insecure populations and helping to build more resilient farming systems that can better cope with the effects of global climate change. Mung Bean was selected for the test in the Toubacouta region where forage is in short supply because it is rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and fiber.

Use of Mung Bean as cover, food, and feed crop - USAID/ERA is working with farmers in the Toubacouta region to test the cultivation of Mung Bean with the goals of improving nutritional quality diets of food insecure populations and helping to build more resilient farming systems that can cope with the effects of climate change. Mung Bean was selected for the test in the Toubacouta region where forage is in short supply because it is rich in protein, minerals, vitamins and fiber. It has been found that this legume crop can produce multiple edible products throughout the growing season as well as seeds that can be easily processed and consumed to increase food security. Based on climatic and soil data, Mung Bean can serve as cover, food, and feed crop. Currently, the Mung Bean planted by the farmers in Toubacouta is producing a large quantity of flowers and beans. USAID/ERA is also working with UT-ENSA faculty members who are involved in their Value Chain and Rural Development programs to determine the potential of Mung Bean as a new cash crop for Toubacouta. USAID/ERA will continue to evaluate the potential of Mung Bean as it is well adapted for warm, dry climate and even xxxxx soils.
Community Resilience. Guidance: Your jurisdiction is required to account for your PHEP funding. All categories combined must meet or exceed the sum of your annual PHEP award. Your jurisdiction must also meet a 10% soft- match to the PHEP cooperative agreement. The sum can be more than your annual award depending on how many of your expenses were paid with matching funds from your jurisdictional agency or other entities. A spreadsheet is available on the PDR to help track expenses during the budget period. Please provide the expense amount for these categories on the online form at the end of the 4th Quarter.
