Associated Press prominently featured a collection of photos from the fire with Fire 3. We’ve seen an uptick in projects located in New Mexico and continue a robust in-state presence in Colorado with a variety of programmatic efforts. If your travel plans have you around Denver on the 26th…we’d love to have you join us for graduation. Best, Ken Goodson Region Director 303-844-7401

At this time last year, the Southwest Campus of AmeriCorps NCCC was home to a single Corps, approximately 300 Members and a staff of 18. Today we host 2 Corps (Traditional and FEMA), approximately 500 Members and a staff of 32. To say it has been a transitional 12 months would be a large understatement. While it has been a challenging period of growth, it has also been one of great opportunity. We’ve been able to substantially increase our contributions to disaster recovery efforts through our FEMA Corps and their deployments to support Hurricane Sandy survivors as well as the residents of Moore, Oklahoma. At the office, the past 12 months has been an opportunity to onboard a collection of new colleagues with fresh perspectives on NCCC, as well as to promote from within our ranks, and to bring Southwest Campus NCCC alums onto our org chart. We are now at pretty much full strength staff wise, with the potential for another wave of growth in FEMA Corps

Members with the arrival of Class 20B in February 2014. Ray Terlaje remains our Deputy Director for Operations. He is now joined by Alann App as our Deputy Director for Units and Dana Platin, our Deputy Director for Programming, to round out our Leadership Team. July 26th looms on the horizon and will bring Class 19A Traditional Corps service year to a close. The 28 teams have been focused within the Southwest Region following some early year efforts in New York and New Jersey to support Hurricane Sandy recovery. As we work to strengthen our relationships and presence in the southwest, teams have been rising to the challenge of meeting the needs of many new partners, sponsors and hosts around our region. Fire 3 served on the front lines of the Black Forest Fire, Colorado’s most costly fire to date. They’ve also been on the front pages of many newspapers, as the

never forget getting a finger crushed while moving a boulder on a landscaping project near Red Rocks Park in Morrison, CO. “To this day, it’s still a little deformed,” she said. Kimberly believes her time in AmeriCorps NCCC opened the door for her next steps. “Having participated in an AmeriCorps program made me an instant national service expert in the field, much to my amazement!” she said.

She spent two years with Learn and Serve in Califor-nia working with K-12 students and non-profits building a service learning program. After that, Kimberly fulfilled one of her dreams and served as Peace Corps volunteer in Jamai-ca in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and education. After completing Peace Corps, she once again re-engaged with national service by working as a trainer for an AmeriCorps program located in Tucson, Arizona. Enjoying Tucson’s rich diverse culture, Kimberly used her international experience to gain employment as the Community Development Coordi-nator for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. With all of her service his-tory and tribal experience, in 2004 she was hired as the CNCS State Program Specialist in Phoenix, where she served for eight years until her January promotion to the State Program Director.

“I tell people how lucky I am to be able to work in a career whereby I know that my daily contributions are help-ing others. I am surrounded by people who believe that a single individual can create change and inspire others to ac-tion. I live in a world of optimism and possibility… and I feel very grateful to have this outlook.”

Kimberly Will BroadieKimberly Will BroadieKimberly Will Broadie “I often tell people that without CNCS (AmeriCorps

NCCC), I would not have the career that I have today,” said Kimberly Broadie, Class 1 alumnus of NCCC’s Denver campus and, as of January 2013, CNCS State Program Director for Ari-zona. Kimberly learned about a new start-up organization called AmeriCorps NCCC from a poster on a college job board, before she graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in May 1994. Fueled by a desire both to travel and give back, and with her bachelor’s degree in which she studied social work, humanities, and education; Kimberly headed off to Denver, a city she’d never been to, where she’d be a pioneer in a brand new organization. “The first few weeks were pretty chaotic,” Kimberly remembers. She was assigned to a team of very diverse indi-viduals who struggled to gel at first. They also got a new team leader just a few weeks in.

“National service really gives individu-als a chance to test themselves, explore their biases and beliefs, and provides them an opportunity to question the

norms that they grew up with.

And working so closely with others, in a team setting, for 10 months really tests people.” Kimberly served on a variety of projects, from doing door-to-door community assessments in Denver’s lower-income Five Points neighborhood to cutting down trees on a fire mitigation project in South Dakota. “After graduating from NCCC, I could not stop looking up at trees and spotting widow-makers.” She also remembers an incredible member development, “spiritual retreat” weekend that entailed camping and fasting in the Rocky Mountains.

Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Sandy

FEMA Corps teams have undergone major movement since they were first

deployed on projects in late March. Due to the highly transitory nature of

their projects, based on when and where disasters occur, some teams

worked on four different projects during the round.

Members have been helping with all aspects of re-covery and rebuilding in New York and New Jersey in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. After the storm hit, finding housing for families and individuals who were displaced became a big chal-lenge given the already limited availability of rental apartments and homes in the metropolitan area. Southwest Region FEMA Corps teams have identi-fied 527 rental possibilities and helped organize and host the Atlantic City Rental Fair in May, which helped survivors find and secure permanent hous-ing. Several FEMA Corps teams have helped disaster vic-tims apply for FEMA assistance through describing the application process, helping victims apply, and reviewing applications and cases. Members have documented and responded to more than 650 in-quiries. An important part in the Sandy recovery efforts has been outreach to survivors. Teams have been writ-ing press releases and creating newsletters outlining resources, organizing presentations and events at schools to teach youth about preparing for disas-ters, and other outreach to prepare the public for potential disasters. Members attend community meetings on flood maps and insurance. One team

has worked to develop The New Jersey Resource Guide, to be published soon, an exhaustive list of resources available to survivors in New Jersey. Another team worked with FEMA staff to collect damage reports and data on public and private prop-erties and to estimate cost analyses. Members con-firmed completion of reports and have been enter-ing that information into FEMA’s database that tracks applications for assistance. Team members helped create and correct historic county maps for reference, create interactive map-ping systems for the community, enter damage in-spections into a database, and track site inspection sheets. Working with the Substantial Damage Esti-mation Team, members identify and gather tax as-sessments for multiple counties. One team surveyed schools and buildings to assess them for potential use as shelters in future disasters. Another team measures, documents, and reports on stump removal and other debris. Teams inventoried FEMA offices for equipment and updated inventory tracking lists. They coordinated, sorted, and organized materials received at FEMA offices.

West, Texas Explosion One team deployed to West, Texas after the April 17th fertilizer plant explosion. The

team supported the Disaster Survivor Assistance team in registering survivors on iPads both at designated facilities and at survivor homes. They also reached out to residents of facilities destroyed during the blast about opportunities for assistance.

To read one corps member’s blog about the deployment, click here.

While not responding to the immediate needs of disasters, FEMA Corps members work on ongoing and long-term recovery projects. One logistics team traveled the east coast helping joint field offices and other FEMA offic-es with the help desk, IT support, facilities up-keep, fleet management, supply management, and ordering. The team loaded pallets, inven-toried supplies for FEMA headquarters, and shut down recovery offices for disasters that had closed out. Teams developed digital map databases and compiled resources for towns and communities that continue to with long-term recovery from tornadoes and other disasters. In Anniston, Alabama, a team assisted with all employees that came to a facility to be trained on an incident management assistance team. They assisted with scheduling, logistics and set-up, and other administrative tasks. Most of the work teams engage in focuses on the administration of FEMA. The teams comple-ment the work our traditional NCCC teams do, like clearing debris, mucking and gutting homes, and helping in home repair and rebuilding.

In the Southwest Region, Corps Members in FEMA Corps are placed on teams in one of three Units: Alpine, Glacier, and Tundra. Each Unit has six or seven teams and is led by a Unit Leader who manages operations and provides guidance and support to the Team Leaders and Corps Members. Alpine Unit: Kristin Schmitt, 303-844-7404, kschmitt@cns.gov Glacier Unit: Vince Jackson, 303-844-5827, vjackson@cns.gov Tundra Unit: Angela Young, 303-844-5835, ayoung@cns.gov

Moore, OK TornadoMoore, OK TornadoMoore, OK Tornado

Teams have been responding to the Moore, OK tornado by can-vassing neighborhoods and working in FEMA field offices to reg-ister people for assistance, convey status updates, and investi-gate inquiries. Some members are also helping compile daily summary reports of the recovery. Members attend community meetings, listen to survivor’s sto-ries and concerns, and canvass areas with information about the details of FEMA assistance. More teams are traveling to Oklahoma to help with donation intake, sorting, and organization. Additionally, traditional Corps team Sun 2 worked with St. Louis AmeriCorps to lead and manage volunteers.

Illinois FloodingIllinois Flooding

In response to April and May flooding in Illinois, three FEMA Corps teams canvassed neighborhoods, and as-sessed, informed, and reported on damage.
