💪 Collaborative Power! Last week, I had the privilege of meeting with these incredible women in Canada 🍁as we kick off an exciting partnership between Economic Developers Alberta (EDA), the Canadian Red Cross, and Hummingly. Together, we're creating a training to empower Alberta's economic development leaders with strategies and tools for challenging times. These essential individuals support businesses and communities through disruption, shocks and tough times. With wildfires currently threatening Alberta, this work has never felt more urgent or necessary. We're ready to make a real difference where it's needed most. Leann Hackman-Carty, Ec.D., Alison (Ali) Paul, MSW, RSW, Judi Frank - love working with you! #EconomicDevelopment #AlbertaWildfires #CollabForGood

This is the third (and last) of three posts I've written recently on public messaging campaigns for those with an interest. I spoke recently on a panel at the Natural Hazards Center's Natural Hazards Workshop, alongside a fantastic crew - Kate Brady, Mary Anne Clive, and Claire Leppold - on public messaging efforts that flopped and those that flew. One that flew.... The All Right? campaign was designed to support communities living through the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquakes - normalizing the responses we were experiencing (It's all right to feel over it right now. It's all right to proud of how you've coped....) and encouraging actions to support wellbeing and to support each other. This campaign is among some of the work I am most proud of. If you're curious about the All Right? campaign: 👉The All Right? campaign is still live and well and having a continued positive impact more than a decade later. You can check out the campaign as it is now here, https://lnkd.in/gKKbC3en 👉In the images you'll see a case study I included in a guidance document I wrote a while back for International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC for creating public messaging campaigns 👉The full guidance document can be found here with a whole range of case studies, including the Dumb Ways to Die campaign featured in an earlier post: https://lnkd.in/gy-V8ZzB 👉Some guidance on the creation of a campaign like this can be found here: hewakaora.nz ✋Or reach out - I'm always happy to share some of the insights from the campaign creation, or connect you with those who have been involved with the campaign over the last decade. The potential for positive impact through messaging campaigns is incredibly powerful. #PublicMessaging #Campaigns #DisasterRecovery

Last week was hard and heavy week for Maui marking one year since the fires. I had the honor of being invited back 'on-island' by Native Hawaiian Philanthropy. It was a packed week but an incredibly moving and inspiring one. ❤️ Serving with the volunteer mental health team (Team Aloha) at two community commemoration events. To me this was important knowing how hard it is for local service providers who have their own fire journey and impacts to mark the day themselves. 💛 Exploring indigenous land-based healing approaches 💙 Witnessing the power of Native Hawaiian cultural practices to support recovery 💜Seeing the work and incredible efforts of dedicated locals on the ground to support their communities ❤️Witnessing yet again the innate power of humans to hold hope for the future and move towards healing, despite how hard it may be right now.

Again with the fabulous Texan hospitality! 🙏A huge thank you to Texas State Office of Risk Management for helping spread the word about the importance of keeping people at the heart of efforts to plan and prepare for disaster, 👍to the audience of continuity planners who were amazing sports and leaned in, laughed and learned together as we explored continuity plans as people plans. 👏and to Sam Houston State University - Institute For Homeland Security for hosting us in such a beautiful environment. Heather Hernandez, MCP, MEMS, Stephen Vollbrecht, Shelby Hyman, Jamell Collins, James LeGrand, Caroline Nauert, MARILYN BYNUM-WILSON, CRIS, PCP, Brandon Murphy, Robert Crane, Robert Turner, thank you for your hospitality and a great symposium. What an incredible few days! We love these sessions, so if you're seeking something special in workshop or experience design, reach out for: ✳️bringing the people component to the fore in your work ✳️preventing burnout and giving leaders and teams a much needed boost (let's face it, the last few years have been A LOT!) ✳️understanding the long-term impacts of disaster on communities (so we can plan for our role and improve outcomes for all involved). #continuityinaction #SORMSymposium2024 #texanhospitality
