SUMMARY:Community Resilience Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:Community Resilience Focus Group\n\n\nMarch 14\, 2025 \n1:00pm – 4:00pm \n“A resilient nation is created and sustained through thriving communities with secure and adaptable social\, economic\, environmental\, housing\, infrastructure\, and institutional systems. Addressing resilience from only one perspective or through only one resilience lens will not be successful.” Nation Resilience Guidance \nCOE HSEM Community RESILIENCE WORK group agenda \nAs 2024\, our “Year of Resilience”\, came to a close\, our Center’s staff\, Volunteers\, and Advisory Board Members at our February 12\, Board meeting\, re-confirmed their commitment to building resilient communities to secure our future.  Demand for talent was just one of many strains across regions and sectors this year\, as geopolitical turmoil and economic uncertainty featured prominently. One way to reduce the impact of all hazards is to enhance resilience within communities. \nOur 21st year\, will be the “Year of Transformational Leadership.”  Today’s leaders continually face challenges of meeting high expectations and adapting to rapid change.  It is critically important to maintain a diverse and educated public.  We need to continue leading with a steadfast commitment to our shared values of equity\, belonging\, and understanding the interdependencies of building capacity and community resilience.  We will need resilient transformational leaders more than ever. \nDate: March 14\, 2025 \nTime: 1: 00pm – 4:00 pm  \nCommunity Resilience Focus Group Session \nContact: Linda Crerar\, Director\, lcrerar@pierce.ctc.edu \nRegistration Link  \n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\n\n\n1:00pm -2:15pm\nWelcome & Introductions\nKyle Winslow \nCurry Mayer \nFacilitators \n\n\n10 minutes \nSetting the Stage: \nPurpose of Focus Group  \n \n \n\n\n90 minutes\nBreakout Discussions \n60-90 minutes\n \n \n\n\n30 minutes \nReport Back \nThematic Discussion \n \n \n\n\n30 minutes \nFuture Trends  \nClosing Reflections \n \n \n\n\n\nFocus Group Questions\nTHE FOCUS GROUPS SEEK TO COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS\, IDEAS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BUILDING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE.\nPRIOR TO beginning\, THESE DEFINITIONS OF RESILIENCE MAY HELP SET THE FOUNDATION:\nUnited Nations office of disaster risk reduction: \nThe ability of a system\, community or society exposed to hazards to resist\, absorb\, accommodate\, adapt to\, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner\, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic structures and functions through risk management.  \nRiskonnect – Business Continuity consultant: \nResilience management is the process of integrating all of an organization’s protective activities under one\, clear\, management structure. The methodology is subdivided into two areas: readiness and response. \nFrom FEMA: \nNational resilience is a complex topic and building it requires whole community effort. The National Resilience Guidance (NRG) offers a unifying vision of resilience. It provides the principals and steps all communities and organizations can take to increase their resilience in every sector and discipline. The NRG strives to help everyone understand and fulfill their critical roles related to increasing national resilience with the goal of increasing community and national resilience. \nThe National Resilience Guidance: \n\nPromotes a common understanding of resilience.\nEmphasizes the critical relationship between chronic community stressors and acute shocks.\nAddresses the resilience roles of individuals\, organizations\, and all levels of government.\nProvides an actionable approach to resilience planning and implementation.\nIncorporates a community resilience maturity model that walks through concrete steps to build resilience.\n\nThe National Resilience Guidance emphasizes that strengthening resilience requires a collective approach. A resilient nation is created and sustained through thriving communities with secure and adaptable social\, economic\, environmental\, housing\, infrastructure\, and institutional systems. Addressing resilience from only one perspective or through only one resilience lens will not be successful. \n1. Workforce Needs & Roles in Community Resilience\n\nWhat makes a community resilient?\nWhat are the most critical roles in a workforce that is resilient?\nIs Community resilience tied to the workforce\, or to other factors and the workforce?\nIf other factors\, what are they?\nHow do emergency management programs contribute to building community resilience?\nAre there positions in either emergency management or resilience planning that don’t currently exist or need additional emphasis to contribute to building community resilience?” What do we want them to help us identify?\nWhat job titles or roles do you foresee becoming necessary in the next 5-10 years that could contribute to resilience building?\n\n2. Knowledge & Training Needs\n\nWhat foundational knowledge areas should those focused on building community resilience have? (e.g.\, disaster risk reduction\, climate adaptation\, social equity\, or something else?)\nWhat specific training or certifications do you consider essential for professionals entering the field of emergency management?\n\nOr for a position focused on building community resilience?\n\n\nHow should workforce training incorporate equity and inclusion in community resilience efforts?\n\n3. Essential Skills & Abilities\n\nWhat technical skills (e.g.\, GIS mapping\, data analysis\, emergency planning) are becoming more important in community resilience building work?\nWhat soft skills (e.g.\, crisis communication\, leadership\, collaboration) are most critical for success?\nHow important is digital literacy in resilience management\, and what specific tools should professionals be proficient in?\n\n4. Emerging Challenges & Opportunities\n\nWhat new challenges do you see affecting emergency management?\nWhat new challenges do you see affecting community resilience building work?\nHow should workforce training evolve to address:\n\nclimate change\ncybersecurity threats\nthe need for building infrastructure resilience?\n\n\nWhat role should cross-sector collaboration (government\, nonprofits\, and private sector) play in building a resilient workforce? (a workforce contributing to building resilience?)\n\n5. Future-Proofing the Workforce\n\nHow can we attract and retain the next generation of emergency management professionals?\n\nHow do we convey to new emergency management professionals that community resilience building is part of their jobs?\n\n\nWhat learning formats (online\, hybrid\, in-person\, simulations\, etc.) are most effective for training resilience professionals? How are we defining “resilience professionals?\n\nWhat final recommendations would you give for shaping an adaptable\, well-prepared resilient workforce? \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Respect and Equity in Digital Learning Resources
DESCRIPTION:Respect and Equity in Digital Learning Resources (Thursday\, February 10\, 3:00 – 4:00 pm CT) \nIncreasingly\, students are spending significant amounts of their learning time engaging with digital learning resources and products\, faculty and administrators are increasingly relying on data from those digital learning tools\, and the pandemic has only accelerated the process. Understanding how digital learning resources may increase\, decrease\, or maintain inequity is vitally important for the health of learners\, teachers\, and society. \nIn this talk we will look at digital learning resources or more broadly educational technology (ed-tech) through the lens of diversity\, equity and inclusion. We will take a holistic approach to DEI in education technology\, starting with why it is necessary to focus deeply on equity\, and why it matters at every level in the organization and in every step from idea to delivery and use of the digital learning resource. \nWhat you can expect: \n\nA high level talk that will explain all terms and jargon\nA quick look at the potential promise offered by digital learning resources and the algorithms (we will define those) within them\nSome real world examples of what can go wrong when respect and equity aren’t built into products. Bring popcorn and kleenex.\nAn approach to ensure digital learning resources work for diverse students\, inclusively\, and equitably.\nA sneak peak at our new Equity Accelerator course for educational technology developers.\n\nWhat you will take away: \n\nA deeper understanding of why a holistic approach to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion within organizations producing digital learning resources is critical.\nA high level understanding of the algorithms within digital learning tools and why they need to be fair\, accountable\, and transparent (and what that jargon means).\nSamples and pointers to tools for infusing equity into the design process for digital learning resources.\nQuestions to ask about equity when considering digital learning resources.

SUMMARY:Preparedness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Preparedness Workshop\nOur Workshop is currently full now. Due to the overwhelming response\, we will be offering another workshop in the future.  \nIf you are still interested\, please get on our waiting list by emailing: KHale@pierce.ctc.edu \nIn January\, we marked the 321st anniversary of the last full-rip 9.0 Cascadia earthquake. In March\, we note the 20th anniversary of the Nisqually earthquake. \nIs getting people to prepare an impossible pipe dream or a worthy goal? Why is it so difficult? Are Emergency Managers the right people to carry the preparedness message? If not\, why not? If not\, who is? \nThis class will use research from applied behavioral science\, the principles of adult education\, and findings from marketing efforts to shed light on how emergency managers can better target the time they spend on preparedness\, leading to better results. We’ll explore ways emergency managers can evaluate their particular situation to determine where/how they can increase the effectiveness of their preparedness programs. \nThe class examines the key errors in thinking that prevent people from getting prepared\, as well as the one element that can be most effectively leveraged to get people to take action. Using brief content delivery modules\, followed by interactive small group exercises\, the class provides a platform for continuing conversations among class participants on what is working and not working in their preparedness efforts. If desired\, students may schedule a one-hour consultation after the class on a preparedness topic chosen by the student. \nParticipants will need to provide an accurate address in order to receive a copy of “Get Ready! How to Prepare for and Stay Safe after a Pacific Northwest Earthquake.” \nTo complete registration\, please make a contribution to the Jamye Wisecup Scholarship Fund. Select “Other” in the Fund dropdown box and with “Wisecup Fund” indicated in the form’s comments section at: \nhttps://pencol.edu/foundation/give

SUMMARY:Great Washington ShakeOut
DESCRIPTION:Tsunami Sirens Will Sound Warning Tone for Great Washington ShakeOut\nAt 10:15 am on October 15\, 2020\, millions of people in Washington State will participate in the largest earthquake drill ever: ShakeOut! Why? Earthquakes can happen anywhere\, so everyone should know how to protect themselves when an earthquake occurs. Coastal earthquakes can be followed by tsunamis – which is why the Great Washington ShakeOut includes a tsunami drill. \nWashington’s network of coastal tsunami sirens will be tested around 10:15 am on October 15 using the wailing sound of a tsunami warning\, not the Westminster Chimes that are used during the monthly tests. PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911. \nThe wailing sound will be followed by this message in English and Spanish: “This is a test of the siren alert system. If you are in a low coastal area\, test your evacuation route. If this had been a real emergency\, you should follow evacuation routes\, move to higher ground inland\, now. Do not delay. Do not return until directed to do so. Tune into your local media sources for further instructions. This was only a test.” \nKnow Your Tsunami Warning Signs \nIf you hear the siren wailing sound outside of the Great Washington ShakeOut\, immediately follow the closest tsunami evacuation route inland or to high ground. This is your warning that a tsunami is approaching\, and you need to evacuate the inundation zone as soon as possible. \nIf you are on the coast and you feel ground shaking\, drop\, cover\, and hold on to protect yourself. When the shaking stops\, immediately follow the closest tsunami evacuation route inland or to high ground. Do not wait to hear a tsunami siren or to receive an official tsunami alert – the shaking is your warning that a tsunami may be on its way. \nMore Sirens To Be Installed \nThanks to funding allocated by the Washington State Legislature for 2020 and 2021\, over the next year the Washington Military Department will be installing approximately 50 tsunami sirens across the state’s inner and outer coasts. These sirens will fill critical gaps in the current tsunami warning infrastructure to complete the siren network. This life-saving project brings together state agencies\, tribal\, county\, and city emergency management\, and other important stakeholders to ensure Washington’s coastal communities can be alerted in the event of a tsunami warning. \nBe a Part of ShakeOut! \nRegister at www.ShakeOut.org/Washington to practice and improve your level of earthquake and tsunami safety. Everyone everywhere can participate! Individuals\, families\, businesses\, schools\, government agencies\, and organizations are all invited to join in at 10:15 am on 10/15. Learn more about Washington’s tsunami hazard at www.mil.wa.gov/tsunamis.

SUMMARY:Partners in Emergency Preparedness August Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation During Crisis Events and in the Context of COVID-19This short webinar will explore how misinformation and disinformation spread during crisis events (generally) and in the context of COVID-19 (specifically). \nWe are particularly vulnerable to the spread of misinformation during times of crisis – due to uncertainty in the information environment and anxiety about what the impacts will be and how we should respond. \nCOVID-19 represents a perfect storm for misinformation – due to persistent uncertainty surrounding the disease and the public increasingly relying on online information systems where mis- and disinformation are already pervasive. \nKate Starbird is an Associate Professor at the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington (UQ). Kate’s research is situated within human-computer interaction and the emerging field of crisis informatics – the study of how social media and other information-communication technologies are used during crisis events. \nCurrently\, her work focuses on the production and spread of online rumors\, misinformation\, and disinformation in the context of crisis events. Starbird is a co-founder of the UW Center for an Informed Public. \nTo Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwod-qrqDgvH9PshoEg2rutgP7JzHalrOdW \nRegistration is required by Aug. 20\, 2020 in order to receive meeting details and webinar link.
