VIFR.org Enters a New Age!

Table of Contents

vifr.org (Small) Congrats to VIFR and especially Chris Coley and Chief Lipe and others who put a lot of work replacing the functionality of www.VIFR.org with a new portal based website from Firehouse Solutions. Check VIFR’s new web site which has a history, photos of all the island’s equipment, lots of background on the fire district, and more information for volunteers and the public. There is a private side to the web site also that security offers much additional functionality to staff and volunteers.

FEMA’s Community Preparedness Webinar-- Introduction to the National Disaster Recovery Framework

imageJoin FEMA Tuesday, November 8th to learn how the recently released National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) provides a more inclusive, collaborative and comprehensive approach to addressing disaster recovery issues and challenges. The NDRF defines how we will work together as a nation to best meet the disaster recovery needs of individuals, families, communities, and states. 
The NDRF is based on the principle that all emergency management partners, including the private sector, non-profit organizations, faith-based organizations, and individual citizens, as well as local, state, tribal and federal government agencies, have a role to play in the recovery process.  In catastrophic scenarios, leveraging Whole Community resources to meet the needs of disaster impacted communities is essential.  If you have a role in disaster recovery operations, you don’t want to miss this!
To join this free webinar on Tuesday November 8th at 10:50 a.m. PST, click here. We ask that you register fifteen minutes prior to the start time.
