Editor's Notes
- Just want to ask before we get started so we can get an idea of who all is in the room.. How many CBOs, how many non profits, HOAs, civic, business, PTAs, etc? Throughout the presentation I want you to think…… *ICE BREAKER* What is something about your organization does that is unique that no one else would know about?
- Does anyone know what this is a picture of or where this is? *Roy will give his experiences based on this and the next photo of the Huntington Flooding -2006 and Hurricane Irene/Tropical Storm Lee of 2011. *How could your groups have helped? Hurricane Irene: August 2011 Topical Storm Lee, September 2011: The National Weather Service reported 7.03 inches of rain in 3 hours at Ft. Belvoir, 5.47 inches in the Franconia area, and 6.57 inches in Reston. Record rainfall resulted in the flooding of most creeks and waterways in suburban Northern Virginia, leading to four deaths, all by drowning. In Fairfax County, Virginia, VDOT estimated up to $10 million of damage to roads and bridges. Tropical Storm Lee added to the rainfall from Hurricane Irene. The National Weather Service reported record 30-day total rainfalls in Prince George's County, Maryland, including 24.13 inches in Largo, 23.98 inches in Forestville, and 21.49 inches in Forest Heights.

- Roy will frame this to give context… “Volunteer Fairfax is the lead of the Community Resiliency Group initiative – they manage volunteer and donations operations for the County…” Roy will briefly discuss state/federal emergency role in disasters OEM: Disaster: describe what level of emergency or disaster would result in an EOC activation. What is the EOC and what happens there? Non-Disaster: highlight all the coordination through planning, training, exercise, and outreach.
- Emergency: -Volunteer and Donations Management -Spontaneous volunteer coordination (via Volunteer Reception Center) -Liaison between CRGs and the County Non-Emergency: volunteer center mobilizing people and resources to meet community needs (1,000 nonprofits, public agencies and corporations) (training Volunteer Emergency Team, education, etc.) Even though we do things during non-emergencies – the purpose of this group is about coordinating and networking so that we can easily transition into operations during emergencies
- -Examples of things organizations do both on a day to day basis that cross over to emergency roles. -Clothing, mobile feeding, coordination, communication networks, transportation, financial assistance, volunteers, etc. -Page 5 of handbook
- During this slide Maria will give examples of what CRG members may do during non-disaster versus disaster times and where they fit in. Participants may refer to pages 8-11 of their CRG Handbook: CRG Operations.
- -already have a framework, mechanisms for all of this -potential to be backbone organization Transportation services for goods to other nonprofits…. And transportation of people if the capacity already exists. Trucks, vans, etc.
