Hello VACDaRN Steering Team, As you may have seen, registration is now open for the VACDaRN Day of Learning: https://www.vermontartscouncil.org/programs/disaster-resilience-network/ We sent out an “eblast” yesterday, which I will forward under separate cover. I hope you will forward that widely throughout your networks. It is also being shared on VAC and VACDaRN social media accounts which can be re-shared. We will be posting the final schedule and full session description in the next two weeks and the Secretary of State’s office will be distributing a press release. Huge thanks to the planning team and the communications staff here at VAC for pulling all of this together. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Art of Mass Gatherings Podcast is Here! The Performing Arts Readiness project is excited to announce that our partners at Majestic Collaborations have launched the Art of Mass Gatherings Podcast. The podcast hosts traveled to cities around the US facilitating the Art of Mass Gatherings symposiums and met many luminaries. Join us as we explore the intersection of festivals and community resilience, focusing on the powerful role that arts and events can play in climate and disaster preparedness. The First Two Episodes Are Available Now: Ep. 1: Emma Stuart: Navigating Change Inclusively From the challenges of crowd management and safety planning to the innovative strategies for ensuring accessibility and community engagement, this episode offers a deep dive into the practices that make festivals a vital tool for building resilient communities. Matthew Kowal and Tom Clareson discuss festival resilience and emergency preparedness with guest Emma Stuart, an event and crowd safety advisor, exploring the importance of safety, accessibility, and community in event management amid crises. Ep. 2: Walk and Talk: Bertrand and Matt Talk About Festivals as Classrooms for Disaster Bertrand and Matt take a walk around Inspirational Point Park in Denver, CO, and talk about our work with a look towards the future.

Hi all! For our inaugural VACDaRN Steering Team post, sharing the message and attachments Michael sent to me --Rachel I realize that there is presently a shortage of information about preparing for the eclipse (not a “wear special glasses” guide but rather, “Are you prepared for cell service to be overwhelmed?”). The guides… one for Vermonters in the totality zone, and one for visitors from south of here (originally on Facebook and Front Porch Forum), are now being circulated by newspapers and social media around New England - what is nowadays called “going viral.” (About which I’m super pleased, because it might spare some folks serious harm.) Over here in Plainfield we haven’t yet figured out how to get ambulances past the post-eclipse traffic jams on Route 2… where people may be melting down in their stuck cars without cell service, and having a health emergency. Emergency Management… as you probably know… has been warning us since late January. I figured we ought to be warning the public as well, which is why I wrote the guidelines and tips. If they know to be prepared, the number of eclipse injuries, stuck and lost cars, and health emergencies will decrease. Out of state drivers are also no match for our mud season dirt roads… especially as they get re-wetted by this next storm and its thaw, just before April 8th. Guides and tips are attached… one for visitors, one for us. Please feel free to share if you are so inclined. I’ll have our EOC open all day. Starting after the eclipse ends we will have extra staffing including a public health nurse and volunteers to ride bicycles along the highway (with walkie talkies)… to let us know to make 911 calls for motorists if both traffic and cell service has ground to a halt (we have two landlines in the EOC).
