The Initiative on Coastal Adaptation and Resilience (iCAR) at USF’s mission includes promoting equitable resilience and minimizing differential impacts of climate change in underserved and vulnerable communities. As part of iCAR’s annual activities, a virtual Action Plan meeting was hosted on November 10th , 2021 from 1:00 pm-3:00 pm to develop a roadmap to address the unique needs of marginalized and vulnerable communities to build equitable resilience in preparing and recovering from disasters and the impacts of climate change. These communities often lack access to resources and information to successfully cope with disasters and the long-term impacts of climate change, which can increase disparities and exacerbate chronic and acute crises. The goals of this meeting were to 1) to solidify a collaborative coalition of stakeholders who can collectively develop a way forward in building a just resilience through the equitable allocation of resources to meet needs that are often unmet; 2) to develop specific steps and working groups to prepare proposals for federal funding in collaboration with iCAR within the Justice 40 framework as well as other funding sources suggested by the stakeholders.

The Storm Squad’s mission is to cultivate local neighborhood-based leadership to promote the ethos of “neighbors helping neighbors" and build bridges between communities and decision-makers such as emergency officials.
The goal is to cultivate a group of residents as leaders for their respective neighborhoods who would be trained to work with their neighbors to prepare for a storm, and then help them to apply for disaster assistance after a storm. They will also work with the community resiliency information systems (CRIS) to identify hidden needs and serve as an information conduit between the county emergency office and the neighborhood.
It’s all about “neighbors helping neighbors” and how to identify hidden needs in the community to emergency assistance.
