Editor's Notes
- Keep to 10-15 min. NOT MORE THAN 15 MIN.
- What does "security" mean?
- What does "security" mean? Common: Happens everywhere, not just in "some" cities not others Connected: Factors and effects are often interconnected Confusing: What can we do? Too complex an issue? Can we learn from each other?
- Creating a virtuous feedback loop! Many of these are already live... constantly being updated... 1) Community Resources: In-depth news information, local groups, assistance programs, research and reports 2) Real Stories: Full depth, vulnerability and resilience, different stakeholders with their own limitations 3) Relatable & Sharable: Multi-media formats, YouTube/Vimeo webisodes, story map (planned), Twitter 4) Continuous Updates: Work products, blog posts, guest posts, image galleries, Twitter 5) Mutual Learning: Community advisers/partners, diverse perspectives, connect neighborhood listening sessions
- Listen; Amplify; Collaborate
- Thank you for your attention. Before we move onto discussing your experiences and brainstorming some community strategies, what questions do you have about the project?
- You don't need to necessarily share your response to every prompt, but you should reflect on each of them! 20 min How did not having access to water affect your daily life? (Your health? Your family? Other effects?)
- Think of your role in the community... or who plays a key role. 20 min discussion, followed by 10 min for all groups to report
