Only 48% of People Have an Emergency Plan per a FEMA survey. You can increase your ability to be prepared by implementing simple steps. GOAL FOR AUGUST Make your community stronger by getting trained and getting involved. It takes more than police, fire, and EMS to respond to a disaster. It takes people who are committed to neighborhoods, churches, schools, and volunteer organizations, etc. When people are willing to work together for the good of others, communities are stronger. People who are involved are key to a disaster resilient community. They are willing and able to look out for themselves and others. A resilient community is one that can withstand a disaster and get back to normal quickly (even if normal isn’t the same as it was before). Remember, community preparedness starts at home. If you know that your family is prepared at home, you will be better able to help others in your community. Learn more at Do1Thing.com

How can communities support a church that faced significant damage due to a fire, impacting its community center and outreach programs? Community Center at La Mesa Church Damaged in Fire.

It is also important here that we look at how the money for homelessness is allocated. Recent years have seen budgets for direct services to people experiencing homelessness all but disappear. The funding proposals being redirected towards « cohabitation », which anyone with boots on the ground can tell you consists majoritarily in sending « mediators » whose ultimate objective is to remove the distressed person from public view by referring them to appropriate services. The problem being the services either don’t exist or are already overrun because the funding has been cut in favor of « cohabitation » It is unsurprising to me that there is a direct correlation between the cuts to service funding and the rising population of people who are and continue to be homeless. This in turn creates more issues of cohabitation. Representative’s of the city have repeatedly told me that services to individuals who are homeless is a provincial issue and that the move away from funding them is a political stance. This is your daily reminder that while representatives of the city and the province play political chicken, people on the street are suffering and dying. Hopefully someone behind the wheel wizens up before the crash.
