The 2021 Military Family Readiness Academy series Disaster and Hazard Readiness in Action will focus on the skills, contexts, and situations military family service providers may draw from and navigate as they manage disasters and emergencies within their professional fields.
A continuation from the 2020 Academy series Disaster and Hazard Readiness Foundations, this year’s series builds on the basic concepts of disaster and hazard management, including impacts and responses, planning, collaboration, and mitigation.
Participants can choose from a range of sessions that will prepare providers to support the readiness and wellbeing of military families during disasters and hazards in areas such as caregiving, children and family needs, nutrition, and finances. Sessions will offer guidance on how to work effectively with families during disasters and hazards, and many will draw from recent and ongoing situations providers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dialogue will be a central component of this series—lessons learned, resources, and insights will be shared across panelists and speakers, and participants are encouraged to contribute as much as possible.
