For emergency managers and planners
If you run exercises, this is what an infant feeding injection looks like in practice. A family profile with a child under two, no power, and no way to prepare formula will surface gaps in registration, logistics and public information in a single move, and it costs nothing to add to an exercise you are already running. See Emergency Management and Preparedness Coordinators.
On June 23, Norma Escobar, Clinical Director for the SAFE Team, proudly joined the New Hanover Disaster Coalition for a comprehensive command center simulation designed to streamline coordinated responses when future disasters strike the Cape Fear region.
Formed in the wake of Hurricane Florence, the Coalition works hand-in-hand with Emergency Management, and this latest exercise perfectly embodies the city-wide partnerships that the are vital for true emergency preparation. By collaborating closely with fellow nonprofits, government agencies, local businesses, and the faith community, the SAFE Team is helping to ensure that infant and young child feeding needs are seamlessly integrated into the area’s broader emergency infrastructure. Proactively preparing together before a hurricane hits ensures that everyone is working toward the same ultimate goal: a stronger, more resilient community.
