As we continue to strengthen and foster our community relationships, we strive to increase our deliveries of all Hazard Disaster Preparedness Awareness workshops. This year proved to be a monumental win as we impacted lives in the business sector as well. Community and organizations impacted were St. Croix Christian Church, Harbor View Community /Croixville Developments and BroadBand VI.
We continue to foster partnerships with:
-Midre Cummings Leaders of Fredricksted-- pooling volunteers for the rebuilding of the F’sted Park.
-Deagio VI/University of the Virgin Islands and Country Day/Good Hope Senior Leadership staff - presenting Leadership and Disaster Preparedness awareness to Seniors, parents, and community leaders.
-Salvation Army, F’sted Rotary, Department of Public Works, VI Housing Community, FEMA, and VITEMA.
As we forge ahead into 20 22, we’ll be expanding into more businesses (public and private sector) as we deliver Continuity Planning, build strong volunteer teams, and increase First Responder Awareness among community organizations and varying neighborhood locations.
We continue to work with our sister islands to strengthen the work of the VI Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). This year, we will begin a pilot program bringing three new Community Resilience Hubs to the territory.
We are grateful for the support of the St. Croix Foundation for Community Development through their fiscal sponsorship and to our wonderful partners at GlobalGiving and Island Spirit Fund for their continued financial support.
In the coming year, we will formally transition from our Long Term Recovery Group status to the St. Croix COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster) as we turn our focus to preparing for all hazards that could impact our island.
With gratitude for allowing us to serve the St. Croix community and our sister islands, the staff of the St. Croix Long Term Recovery Group:
Jay Rollins, Executive Director for National & Regional Relationships
Delia Richardson, Executive Director for Community Engagement
Christina Joseph, Executive Assistant
Rosalie Javois, VISTA
