Navigating the Future of Flood Risk: Expert Insights and Strategies for Using Climate Data
2024-10-16 08:00 - 09:00
Communities across the US are grappling with the intense impacts of coastal, riverine and pluvial flooding, wildfires, and scorching heatwaves. To effectively plan and adapt to these climate challenges, public works agencies need climate data that’s not just accurate, but scalable and actionable. This data is crucial for designing resilient infrastructure, smart land-use strategies, and targeted emergency preparedness.
With cutting-edge advances in artificial intelligence, we’re seeing exciting breakthroughs in flood risk prediction that promise to help communities take proactive steps to mitigate their flood risks. However, the rise of proprietary private data can complicate things, raising concerns about the transparency and accuracy of the information being used. Public agencies need to navigate these complexities to make informed decisions that can reduce flood vulnerability.
To tackle these issues head-on, NAFSMA is launching a dynamic series of webinars and panels featuring top experts and practitioners. The first webinar kicks off on October 16th at 11 am Eastern with Professor Madison Condon from Boston University, who will delve into the climate services industry and offer insights on integrating climate data into effective planning.
Then, join us on October 30th at our annual meeting for an exciting panel discussion with FEMA, public agencies, and private companies, exploring the current and future landscape of flood risk data. Don’t miss these opportunities to stay ahead of the curve and enhance your community’s resilience!

Wombs and Wildfire: Smoke, Stress and Reproductive Justice
2024-10-10 12:00 - 13:00
Wildfires cause significant stress, break apart communities and in places dramatically change the world people birth their newborns into. Recent epidemiologic research suggests wildfire exposure is associated with higher rates of adverse birth outcomes. Although some data is available, information on wildfires and health protection strategies are not known to many health educators, providers, pregnant people, or families.
Research on climate trends suggests that the frequency, duration, and intensity of wildfires will continue at least until mid-century. Action must be taken with direct service providers and communities at large. The US cannot afford further pressure on maternal and newborn health, already in crisis in the US.
Human Rights Watch and Nurturely invite you to a webinar exploring the US wildfire crisis as a reproductive health and rights problem that requires a response that centers care workers and reproductive justice. The speakers will, in different ways, press for bold and creative approaches in how we think about wildfires and what people, skills and resources are needed, especially for care workers. This event follows the recent release of our report “Reproductive Rights in the US Wildfire Crisis: Insights from Health Workers in Oregon State”

Laura Kate Bender, Assistant Vice President, Nationwide Healthy Air at the American Lung Association will open our webinar and provide some comments on the state of air in the US including the growing contribution of wildfire smoke to pollution.
Epidemiologist and air pollution/climate expert Associate Professor in Public Health at the University of California Merced, Dr. Sandie Ha will provide insights into what epidemiology is available on maternal health impacts from wildfire including her recent findings on how heat and wildfire smoke together may be especially dangerous for pregnancy health.
Dr. Aver Yakubu, Nurturely, and Skye Wheeler, Human Rights Watch, will discuss findings and recommendations from their recent research interviewing community health workers, doctors, doulas, midwives, nurses and public health officials in Oregon about wildfire impacts on pregnancy health and their own work.
Three providers, Jacquelyn Ingram, midwife, Hawaii, Jessica “Veege” Ruediger, midwife, Oregon and Shoneena Lee Loss, doula, Nlaka’pamux Territory in British Columbia, Canada, who have all worked with wildfire-affected communities will have conversation with Americares’ director of climate and disaster resilience, and maternal health expert Elena Ateva, about their experiences, the impacts they’ve seen on maternal and newborn health and well-being from wildfire and what actions they want to see from policy makers to better protect maternal health and rights in response to the climate crisis.

Disaster risk reduction, how philanthropy can empower a resilient future webinar
2024-10-10 10:00 - 11:00
Disaster risk reduction (DDR) helps communities by “preventing new and reducing existing disaster risk and managing residual risk.” In recognition of October’s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy is hosting a webinar to educate funders about their role in helping communities build resilience by reducing risk. Disasters are not natural; therefore, philanthropy can take action to reduce disaster risk. And yet, only a small fraction of disaster giving goes to mitigation, resilience and preparedness efforts. By investing in DRR, philanthropy can save money and lives and reduce harm when a disaster hits. This year’s DRR day theme, “Empowering the Next Generation for a Resilient Future,” highlights the importance of safe and disaster-resilient schools and age-appropriate education for children. Since 2000, over 80,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed, and 1 billion children have faced disruptions from disasters.

By the end of this webinar, donors will:
– Understand the meaning and importance of disaster risk reduction.
– Learn how and why to support DRR activities in their grantmaking and donations.
– Increase their awareness of the needs and role of children and education in supporting disaster resilience in children.
Automatic closed captioning will be available via Zoom during the webinar. The webinar will be recorded and the link to the fully captioned recording will be emailed to everyone who registered. CDP desires to provide accessible webinars. Please email Katie Huang at katie.huang@disasterphilanthropy.org by Oct. 1 and let us know what accommodations you need to fully participate in the webinar. We will do our best to meet your needs as feasible.

Living by the Levee: Navigating Flood Resilience with Unsheltered Communities
2024-10-08 10:00 - 11:00
Webinar Description:
It’s not uncommon to find those experiencing homelessness living in flood zones near levees or along dams. While this poses immediate risks to those unhoused populations, it can also affect safety inspections and certifications of the flood risk infrastructure. Flood risk managers have struggled with how to engage these populations while also managing the dams and levees.
Beginning in 2022, the California U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Silver Jackets team convened a series of interagency and interdisciplinary workshops to explore this issue. These workshops produced actionable steps for care-informed strategies to communicate with homeless populations that live along levees and waterways while maintaining community flood infrastructure.
Join project leaders as they discuss the challenges and risks associated with flood resilience, infrastructure, and unhoused communities. Attendees will learn about project outcomes and tangible actions that flood risk managers can take to provide flood resilience for all members of the community.

“Race to Resilience” Initiative
2024-10-01 09:00 - 10:00
Organizing Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks in North America and Worldwide
From record heat waves, storms, wildfires, droughts, floods, and other disasters, to increasing disruptions to the ecological, social, and economic systems people rely on for food, water, shelter, jobs, incomes, health, and other basic needs, the global climate-ecosystem-biodiversity (C-E-B) crisis is rapidly escalating. The crisis is an unprecedented public health emergency that will produce radically more and different types of mental health and psychosocial problems than society has ever experienced.
Individualized mental health services cannot address the pervasive traumas speeding our way. Instead, a public health approach must be used in neighborhoods and communities to strengthen everyone’s capacity for mental wellness and transformational resilience for relentless adversities, as residents engage in activities that help reduce the C-E-B crisis to manageable levels and enhance local conditions.
To accomplish this, as a partner in the U.N. High level Climate Champion Race to Resilience Campaign, the International Transformational Resilience Coalition (ITRC) and its core partners the Campaign for Trauma-Informed Policy and Practice (CTIPP) and Trauma Informed Oregon (TIO) will work with co-sponsors worldwide to help organize, strengthen, and “Commission” Transformational Resilience Coordinating Networks (TRNCs) worldwide.
A TRCN is a wide and diverse coalition of local grassroots, neighborhood, education, youth, faith/ spirituality, mental and physical health, social work, disaster management, climate/environmental, social and environmental justice, and other civic, non-profit, private, and public sector leaders. From the bottom-up, the TRCN develops and implements locally-appropriate strategies that help all adults, adolescents, and young children remain socially, psychologically, emotionally, and behaviorally healthy and resilient during continual adversities, as they also engage in activities that help reduce the C-E-B crisis to manageable levels and enhance local conditions.
The TRCN Commissioning initiative will help community leaders in North America and worldwide learn how to organize a TRCN, facilitate and strengthen its operations, and develop and continually improve strategies that use a public health approach to build population-level mental wellness and transformational resilience.

Overcoming the Hot Stress Mess
2024-09-26 10:30 - 11:30
Violence (real, perceived, and potential) affects everyone, everywhere. Our INVOLUNTARY human response to violence cannot differentiate between life threatening danger and non-life-threatening stress.
You can save your life by responding to any situation using three steps, even if you don’t have medical knowledge. When harnessed correctly, this will help save a life, maybe yours. The training also applies to everyday life, overcoming the human stress response.
By the end of your time with Marcus Melnick, you will learn how to have a clear mind when confronted with extreme stress, increase confidence that you know how to respond to a variety of incidents, and lessen the chance of poor decision making, by understanding the human stress response.
