Mitigation & Preparedness:

• Identify vulnerabilities in populations and across health facilities to different types of hazards and strategize pathways for mitigation

•  Use data to identify households in need of special consideration during disasters and communicate this with appropriate responders

• Develop longer-term data-sharing agreements with orgs working in disaster mitigation/response to better serve marginalized populations

• Support training for health/care facilities staff for emergencies

• Support/provide resources to facilities for emergency planning

• Develop plans and protocols for providing health and medical services to diverse populations in shelter settings or to pop-up clinics

• Support household preparedness and response messaging related to health/wellness

Response: xxxx

Recovery: 

• Identify lessons learned that can translate into mitigation actions and communicate these with appropriate decisionmakers

• Continue to support health/care facilities in their recovery journeys

• Support provision of ongoing/long-term mental health resources to disaster survivors

• Identify ongoing health impacts caused by disaster (e.g. respiratory complications)

Mitigation & Preparedness: 

• Continue work to reduce homelessness and refer people to housing resources and harm reduction services (vulnerability reduction)

• Support household/shelter mitigation efforts to ensure people stay housed during disasters

• Identify specific vulnerabilities that can be communicated to partners for proactive risk reduction efforts

• Continue work to improve food access, identify strategies to fortify local food distribution networks, with emphasis on local food systems

• Map food access needs versus food resources.

• Identify barriers to access during emergencies and ways to address barriers and gaps in service.

• Work with cities/other providers to promote coordination of food distributions to avoid duplication in services and confusion around services.

• Identify mitigation projects (e.g. urban gardens) to reduce impact of disasters on food access and strategize implementation pathways

• Organize outreach for/provision of emergency food supplies in households, especially marginalized ones

• Work with food distribution organizations and other providers to develop emergency operations plans

Response:

• Coordinate and communicate with shelter operators, other COAD committees, personnel, and volunteers to support evacuee wellbeing 

• Communicate temporary housing resources to displaced people

• Maintain situational awareness of food access needs throughout the county – establish regional subgroups if needed

• Connect with key agencies and community members to provide critical food access information at the community level

• Track grocery and meal distributions to monitor needs. Identify trends and emerging needs

• Identify gaps in service and coordinate with service providers to fill them.

• Work with providers to promote coordination of food distributions to avoid duplication in services and confusion around services

• Assist in communicating about and outreach for food access sites and improving access for vulnerable populations

Recovery: 

• Continue tracking and monitoring to maintain situational awareness and continue to identify trends and emerging needs

• Identify lessons learned and make recommendations for mitigation measures to reduce impacts for similar events in the future

• Work with government to identify resources to transition people in shelters to temporary/transitional housing

Mitigation & Preparedness: 

• Identify gaps in existing communication networks and establish emergency plans for what to do in response to power outages and internet and cell service failures

Response:

• Coordinate and communicate with shelter operators, other COAD committees, personnel, and volunteers to support evacuee wellbeing 

• Communicate temporary housing resources to displaced people

Recovery: 

• Continue tracking and monitoring to maintain situational awareness and continue to identify trends and emerging needs.

• Identify lessons learned and make recommendations for mitigation measures to reduce impacts of similar events in the future

• Identify lessons learned during disasters and report back to COAD and other government partners

• Identify future mitigation measures to take to reduce risk for similar events in the future

Mitigation & Preparedness: 

• Identify risks and provide training opportunities to help mitigate the greatest threats to human life 

• Identify vulnerabilities in populations to different types of hazards and strategize pathways for mitigation

• Use data to identify households in need of special consideration during disasters and communicate this with appropriate responders 

• Provide culturally appropriate information about safety and preparedness to make sure that everyone is accounted for

Response:

• Coordinate and communicate with shelter operators, other COAD committees, personnel, and volunteers to support affected populations safety and security 

• Effectively coordinate response to those most at risk

Recovery: 

• Help coordinate effots to provide trauma informed care and appropriate victims assistance to affected communities

• Continue tracking and monitoring to maintain situational awareness and continue to identify trends and emerging needs.

• Identify lessons learned and make recommendations for mitigation measures to reduce impacts for similar events in the future
