“This is going to speak to the value of community organizations coming together in a space that allows them to cross collaborate and to have meetings identified by certain needs... Participating in those committees and being very focused on making sure that you're attending those community meetings, and being a part of that is really critical.” -Charles Brooks
“When you're in the same zone, you can utilize people, reduce costs, and do less work, because it's centralized.” -Jenna Murray-Johnson
“When the day is in the bleakest and the darkest, hold on hope because tomorrow shall come. A unique thing you can bring as a leader is hope for people.” -Lorez Bailey
Episode Description:
Disasters can happen anywhere, and when they do, it is vital that the community comes together to help rebuild. That's where effective leadership comes in - leaders can help to coordinate and manage community efforts, and ensure that everyone has the resources they need to recover.
Community engagement is key to a successful recovery from a disaster. In this Take 5 episode, Rebuild Paradise Founder Charles Brooks, Camp Fire Zone Captains Co-Founder Jenna Murray- Johnson, and Executive Director at Chop’s Teen Club Lorez Bailey discuss how communities can come together to support each other and be more resilient in coping with the challenges of a disaster.
Disasters can be a time of great need and also of great opportunity. With the right leadership and engagement, communities can come together to rebuild and recover stronger than before!
