Shaping Urban Resilience: working together on disaster response and
preparedness:
American Red Cross
December13, 2012
What We Do
The Red Cross responds on the scene of emergencies to help provide for the urgent needs of disaster victims. We focus on providing:
safe shelter
feeding victims and emergency workers
mental health and emotional support services
first aid and health services, and
emergency relief supplies
Red Cross casework is also an important part of our relief services. Our caseworkers can meet one-on-one with clients to help them plan for long-term recovery.
Priority Partnerships
Priority partnerships with agencies such as FEMA, DoD, Veterans Administration, Department of Health and Human Services
Ongoing communication and coordination with non-governmental organization partners, such as NVOAD and planning/coordination with state and local government officials and agencies
Collaborations with private sector partners and donors
Coordination with Government
The American Red Cross
recognizes Government as
a vital partner in executing
its historic mission. While
maintaining independence,
the American Red Cross will
continually seek
opportunities to strengthen
and improve this
partnership to accomplish
our shared objectives.

Government Partners?* FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency)
FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure
that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our
capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and
mitigate all hazards.
NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command)
Plans, organizes, and executes homeland defense and civil support
missions.
CDC (Center for Disease Control)

and communities need to protect their health
DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services)

of all Americans and providing essential human services.
*list not representative of all government partners
How Do We Work Together? The National Response Framework
The National Response Framework (NRF) presents the guiding
principles that enable all response partners to prepare for and provide
a unified national response to disaster
American Red Cross relief operations integrate into this framework
and trains staff and volunteers to help ensure a unified response with
government, private, and other nonprofit partners.
MOU’s The Red Cross has signed Memoranda’s of Understanding (MOU’s) with
over 13 government agencies, most states and local governments on how
we work together in disaster management
Inter-Agency Plans & Exercises The American Red Cross regularly meets with local, state, and federal
stakeholders for preparedness planning and exercise activities.

Unprecedented events demand unique leadership.
Move beyond the “silo mentality” to build connectivity across organizations and sectors.
Must begin at the most fundamental level and that’s the local level.
Resiliency must be about growing through challenges and not simply about bouncing back.
What Disaster Resilience Means
• The capability to protect against or mitigate significant all-hazard threats and incidents and to quickly recover and reconstitute critical services with minimum damage to public safety and health, the economy and national security
• It’s about adapting—
• Having vision, focus, follow-through and fortitude—
• Embracing the “new normal”
“How to take a licking and keep on ticking”
The Resilience Tautology
Resilient assets, infrastructures and communities require resilient regions
Resiliency requires understanding which assets and services are critical in any scenario
Understanding criticality depends upon understanding interdependencies among infrastructures and other stakeholder organizations (criticality is dynamic)
Understanding interdependencies requires cross-sector and multi-jurisdiction information sharing from the grass roots to national levels, cross-border and all sectors
This information sharing requires the creation of an environment of trust where stakeholders feel ‘safe’ to share their vulnerabilities, ideas, and work together
What Community Resilience Requires
Recognition by one or more influential local leaders
of the importance of cooperation and collaboration because of interdependencies
Willingness of a state, local government or a non-profit organization to mobilize and facilitate a partnership
Have a process to enable regional stakeholders and community leaders to mutually identify needs and solutions
Developing ways to provide encouragement, technical expertise, resources, and sustainability to improve disaster resilience
Providing best practices that key stakeholders can customize to meet community & organizational needs
Radical Resilience
Radically turbulent times demand professional and personal responses that transcend our regular work and life patterns.
It’s not about hanging on while holding back.
Radical resilience requires the courage to challenge, commit, and contribute in ways that positively impact both today as well as many tomorrows.
All the different definitions of resiliency should incorporate the skills of
• adaptability
• agility
• alignment for producing solid results
The five connections of sustainability that allow individuals and organizations to thrive in a constantly changing world are vested in leadership qualities.
Renew your commitment as leaders to develop yourself and others so that you stay focused on what matters most.
