Communicate with your
​Grantmakers and the Public

Every grant award requires progress reports and timelines to be met.

A disaster, whether a weather event, health crisis or pandemic, or major business/industry change compels local leaders to examine what adjustments may be needed for government operations, communication with the public, and even identifying how to navigate these with state and federal agencies.

Leadership has the responsibility to both stay informed and to inform, both to the public and to state and/or federal agencies and officials. Communication is critical, and observance of critical guidance matters to individuals, communities, businesses, regions, and economies.

Documents below are intend to assist our communities in decision-making and practices that assist in meeting both obligations and responsibilities of local government.

Focus on
​Critical Concerns

First thing is first. Lives matter. Government assists individuals, provides services and immediate relief, and cooperates with businesses, non-profits, and other governing entities to best help the community minimize impact, bounce back from various disasters, and proceed with recovery and improved resiliency. Good information helps our community leaders build their capacity, disseminate important public information, and guide collaborative and stakeholder responses and recovery.

Use your emergency operations plans and continuing to communicate with your peers, partners, and other leadership.
​

Use templates and other assistance through trusted sources to help you maintain governance structures and delivery of needed services in a manner that complies with emergency procurement and honors mutual aid agreements.

Coordinate with your partners and stakeholder leadership. Take note of how your community has been impacted. Document with photos, logs, timesheets, anecdotes, and date/time stamp. Stay connected and informed of your situation, and consider that recovery will take a lot of different forms and creative partnerships. Disasters take a toll on local capital in the private sector, and in the public sector. Familiarize yourself with what tools and resources you can marshal to relieve, recover, and rebound… for your community’s future.

Let us know how you are doing…and how we can help…and connect within your local and regional community to address both the needs and opportunities that emerge as we mitigate, rebound, and re-emerge as a resilient, and stronger community.
