FEMA is hosting several 60-minute webinar sessions to provide an overview of the draft “Engaging Faith-Based and Community Organizations: Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers” and facilitate discussion with participants to gather feedback on additional ways to improve the guide. FEMA seeks input, especially real-world experiences, that can be incorporated into the guide. Advance registration is required.

La Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés) y el Centro para Alianzas con Base de Fe y Comunitarias del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS, por sus siglas en inglés) colaboraron para llevar a cabo una mesa redonda sobre resiliencia climática que agrupó lideres de múltiples religiones durante la semana pasada.

FEMA and the DHS Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships co-hosted a Multi-Faith Leader Climate Resilience Roundtable last week.
