This document summarizes a presentation about linking economic development and hazard mitigation planning. It discusses how the Kerr-Tar Regional Council in North Carolina coordinates these plans to improve community resilience. The council updated their hazard mitigation plan and developed recommendations to integrate resilience into other plans and projects. They are now working to establish a resilience council and provide resources to help communities with business continuity and incorporate resilience into other local plans. The goal is to support economic growth in safe, disaster-resilient areas and enable faster recovery through coordinated planning.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

About the Kerr-Tar Region
3. Why we were interested?
• Person County experiences four
seasons!
• Most of the commercial,
professional and health service
activity is in the City limits, Roxboro
(County center)
• Natural and man-made disasters or
disruptions are somewhat
common, vary in intensity and
depth of affecting local citizens, i.e.
crippling winter storms vs. localized
parking lot flooding
• I contacted NADO after contracting
with Person County and Roxboro on
a hazard mitigation plan update
• Updating the regional CEDS, so
good timing!
4. North Carolina CEDS 2014
Plan Alignment
Kerr-Tar Region CEDS
2013 - 2017
Work plan
• The 2014 work plan tasked
updating a hazard mitigation
plan for city of Roxboro and
Person County into a multi-
jurisdictional plan
• NADO Research Foundation
and the Center for Hazard and
Policy Research worked with
Kerr Tar to develop a technical
memo on syncing hazard
mitigation planning and CEDS
activities to foster improved
community resiliency
8. • Supports business and economic development that is safe
and resilient to known hazards.
• Builds capacity and relationships that can lead to a
quicker, stronger recovery in the event of a disaster.
• Makes each plan more effective and likely to achieve its
objectives.
• Promotes creative thinking about new funding sources for
programs and projects.
• Allows leaders to market the region to businesses as safe
and prepared for future disasters.
Benefits of Plan Coordination
10. HAPPENING NOW
• Business continuity planning outreach – Educating our communities
on the impacts of short and long term natural and man made hazards
• Add a resiliency analysis section to CEDS and update periodically
• Build a case for resiliency in other planning documents – Provide
tailored research and reference information for easy-to-make
resiliency planning in local government comprehensive and land-use
plan updates.
COORDINATING FOR 2016
• Establish a resiliency council – Build regional dialogue between
planners, emergency services, economic developers, and citizens-at-
large
Implementing the Recommendations
13. Purpose of SET
Help rural communities/counties
work together as a regional team in
developing and implementing
A High Quality
Regional Economic Development Plan
that builds on the
current and emerging
economic strengths
of their region.
Similar to CEDS Planning Process (Not
Totally Duplicative Though)
