Husband | Dad | Team Leader | Balancing Life | Hope is NOT a Plan Podcast (Self-Improvement & Productivity)️
It is beyond human capabilities to control nature. However, we can control who we appoint to crucial positions in the government and how we collaborate with our partners to prepare for any emergency. By bridging the gap between localities, creating a collaborative planning process, and preparing for disasters, we can significantly mitigate the damage and loss of life. In 2023, it is imperative that we hire an experienced Emergency Management professional, who has practical experience, instead of political appointments. It is equally important to pay these Emergency Managers the wages they deserve. In my opinion, if we continue to pay online influencers or political appointees more than Emergency Managers, we will end up with inexperienced people who do not have the motivation to put in the extra work and long hours required to truly prepare a locality for disasters, such as the fires in Maui. https://lnkd.in/da9auF2b

Last week I passed the five year mark as Director at SF DEM. And what a five years it has been! I feel incredibly humbled by and proud of the people at DEM - the dispatchers and the entire 911 team, our emergency managers, our regional UASI planning team, the EMS Agency team, our newest and growing group - street response coordination and the many amazing support staff that make this work possible, HR, IT, facilities, and special projects (like the massively important CAD replacement project). I could do long posts about each of these groups - there are important stories to tell about each of them. Last month I participated in a panel at the Natural Hazards Workshop in Denver with my incredible colleagues from Denver, Los Angeles, and my original hometown, Philadelphia. We all spoke from the heart about our own experiences and where we see the current and future state of emergency management. If I could summarize the over-arching theme to this conversation it would be that our scope has expanded - exponentially. That climate change and politics has had the most impact on our work (outside of the global pandemic) and that community, diversity and inclusion is paramount to our success. And all of this has taken a toll on us, and our staff. We are taking on crisis management in areas that we would not have predicted ten years ago. So whether it is homelessness, the fentanyl crisis, immigration and asylum seekers, extreme weather or political unrest, Emergency Management has been called into service. We need to recruit and hire staff who are creative, analytical and diverse. We need planners, project managers, and community outreach workers. And we need to take care of them. The work of emergency management becomes more challenging everyday. It is interesting and rewarding, but it also takes it toll. So as I look forward I know we face huge and expanding challenges. We need to expand resources and include self-care and care of our staff as a priority. To be a leader in this field at this time is a privilege and a challenge. One that we will meet with resolve, commitment, and experience. I know that I will work hard, and also prioritize time to restore to continue to serve. I will continue to go to the mountains and the sea for my peace and restoration. We serve, we work, we play and we love. Onward! #emergencymanagement #crisismanagement #climatechangeadaptation #climatechange #wellness

Strategic thinker | Stakeholder advocate | Storyteller | Sustainable changemaker | Available for full- or part-time work
We need to find sensible and sustainable solutions if we expect to address the recruitment and retention challenges faced by the fire service nationwide. If we don’t, we knowingly weaken the last line of defense between our lives and rising, potentially deadly threats. Until we focus on and invest in solving the root causes of these events, we need to invest in emergency preparedness and response. It’s a “need to have” and not a “nice to have” when it comes to spending, and it’s not only a concern of the government—private citizens and corporations have roles to play in advocating for change and in investing in communities where they conduct business. #wildfire #wildlandfire #fireservice #communitysafety

Wildland Fire Dispatchers Face Burnout Crisis 🔥 Wildland fire dispatchers, crucial in managing fast-spreading wildfires, are facing severe burnout, compromising their health, safety, and the effectiveness of firefighting efforts. A recent survey by the U.S. Forest Service in Oregon and Washington's Region 6 reveals alarming issues: overworked dispatchers, recruitment challenges, and mental health struggles. Staff shortages lead to exhaustive 16-hour shifts, impacting work/life balance and jeopardizing their well-being. Dispatchers report feeling undervalued, with low pay and lack of recognition exacerbating the problem. Despite temporary pay raises for some, a long-term solution is elusive. Urgent calls for improved staffing, pay, and mental health support echo throughout the dispatch community, highlighting a crisis in the wildfire response system.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the incremental award of more than $2.9 million to California to continue supporting disaster-relief employment and employment and training services for residents as the state continues to recover from the wildfires that devastated several Northern California communities between July and October 2021.In February 2022, the department announced the award of a National Dislocated Worker Grant of up to $8.9 million to the California Employment Development Department and an initial award of $2.9 million. The grant allows the state to provide temporary jobs for debris removal and forest restoration activities in Lassen, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Tehama and Trinity counties and employment and training services for eligible people in the affected areas. The incremental award announced today brings the department’s total award to California to $5,936,700. The wildfires devastated Lassen National Forest, Lassen National Park, Plumas National Forest and Trinity National Forest, as well as the lumber industry across Northern California. The fires’ damage also reduced the nation’s lumber supply, making it harder for affected communities to rebuild. The Federal Emergency Management Agency issued a major disaster declaration in August 2021, enabling California to request this funding. Administered by the department’s Employment and Training Administration – and supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 – National Dislocated Worker Grants provide funding assistance to temporarily expand the service capacity of dislocated worker programs at the state and local levels when large, unexpected economic events cause significant job losses.
US Department of Labor awards more than $2.9M for continued support of clean-up, recovery after Northern California’s 2021 wildfires

Champion of Next-Level Staffing Growth | Sales & Marketing Leader with Advance Partners, a Paychex Company
The U.S. faced more natural disasters this year than ever before, and the cleanup and repair efforts that came afterward needed people to do the work. But in an emergency, it’s hard to quickly get enough staff on the ground to help. Jeremy Bilsky wrote an article for Contractor magazine that perfectly illustrates the importance of having a staffing partnership before your company actually needs it. Read the full story in the comments. #StaffingTrends #StaffingLeaders #NaturalDisaster #BusinessStrategy
