Identified Gaps/Needs/Issues
Preparedness is the responsibility of EVERYONE.
More work needs to be done at the local level to promote and encourage personal preparedness.
HOAs, Community Orgs, Faith-based Orgs, City/Municipal Leaders MUST be engaged to change the “culture of preparedness.”
Licensed care facilities, group homes, child care and schools must develop or evaluate their plans.
Training will be key.Slide6

Identified Gaps/Needs/Issues
Identifying access and functional needs communities or individuals who will require services in a disaster remains a HUGE CHALLENGE.
A&F community is reluctant to self identify to first responders, emergency managers.
Registries, HIPPA, Privacy Laws, etc., still divisive issues
Organizations/Agencies that hold information are reluctant to share.
More educational training regarding A&F communities needs to occur w/ first responders, EM, etc.Slide7

Identified Gaps/Needs/Issues
Huge dichotomy between Urban and Rural Communities in preparedness, outreach and response.
Trust issues are a major factor in Tribal communities, Migrant populations and Immigrants.
Communication issues will exist with or without power.
Transportation will and remains a HUGE problem.
What’s the threshold for “acute medical needs?”
Will our systems like Reverse 911 work as intended?
Feeding operations need to be evaluated if they will meet the needs of the whole community. Slide8
