Proposal for the United Preparedness Network (UPN)
Strengthening Disaster Resilience, Equity, and Proactive Response in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA)
?
Executive Summary:
?
The United Preparedness Network (UPN) is an innovative, community-driven initiative aimed at creating a resilient, equitable, and proactive disaster preparedness and recovery framework for Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). By uniting nonprofits, businesses, community groups, and city agencies, UPN seeks to strengthen DTLA’s ability to respond to and recover from disasters—be they wildfires, earthquakes, floods, or other emergencies—while prioritizing equity and the needs of marginalized communities. Through partnerships, immediate-action projects, cultural movements, and long-term educational programs, UPN aims to build a comprehensive, sustainable disaster resilience system for the city.
?
This proposal outlines UPN’s structure, goals, and the expected outcomes, demonstrating that while the investment in UPN may be significant initially, its benefits far outweigh the costs, saving lives, reducing disaster recovery costs, and stabilizing the community’s future preparedness efforts.
?
Mission Statement:
?
To build a resilient, equitable, and proactive DTLA by uniting nonprofits, businesses, community groups, and city agencies to strengthen disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, ensuring no one is left behind in times of crisis.
?
Strategic Pillars and Implementation:
?
1. Partnerships for Resilience:
The foundation of UPN lies in creating strong, coordinated partnerships across all sectors—community, business, nonprofit, and government—to ensure a cohesive disaster response strategy. These partnerships will enable comprehensive and equitable preparedness.
? Action Plan:
? Forge formal partnerships with key nonprofits, community leaders, and businesses.
? Establish a coalition that meets regularly to align disaster preparedness efforts.
? Launch a Disaster Equity Initiative focused on addressing systemic disparities and prioritizing marginalized communities in disaster preparedness and recovery.
? Outcome:
? Increased collaboration and resource sharing among stakeholders.
? A unified disaster readiness strategy that ensures no community is left behind.
?
2. Projects for Immediate Impact:
UPN recognizes the need for immediate, tangible actions to build resilience in DTLA. These projects will provide urgent disaster resources and create physical spaces for recovery support.
? Action Plan:
? Emergency Kits for All: Distribute essential disaster kits (e.g., food, water, first aid) to vulnerable areas, including Skid Row and schools.
? DTLA Resilience Hub: Establish a physical space where community members can receive training, resources, and recovery support.
? Digital Resource Portal: Create an online hub offering real-time disaster updates, preparedness guides, and recovery tools.
? Outcome:
? Empowerment of residents and communities through immediate access to resources.
? A digital hub as a centralized point for real-time information during disasters.
?
3. Cultural Movements for Awareness:
To foster a culture of disaster readiness, UPN will launch campaigns and events to raise awareness and encourage proactive participation.
? Action Plan:
? DTLA United for Resilience: Promote a culture of shared responsibility through storytelling, public events, and social campaigns.
? No Fires, No Fear: Advocate for fire prevention and safety, while engaging communities through media and public outreach.
? From Preparedness to Peace: Advocate for sustainable infrastructure and proactive disaster management through community outreach.
? Outcome:
? Shift in cultural attitude toward proactive disaster readiness.
? Increased public engagement in fire prevention and disaster resilience.
?
4. Programs for Long-Term Change:
UPN will focus on developing long-term educational and resource programs to ensure that future generations are equipped to handle disasters effectively.
? Action Plan:
? Resilient Futures Education Program: Teach disaster preparedness in schools and train youth as “Preparedness Ambassadors.”
? Emergency Equity Program: Provide free workshops, subsidies, and resources to ensure disaster readiness for all, especially those in economically disadvantaged communities.
? Outcome:
? Increased disaster preparedness among youth, who will serve as ambassadors for future resilience.
? Ensured equity in disaster preparedness, providing marginalized groups with the tools they need to respond to emergencies.
?
5. Policy Advocacy and Scaling:
Advocating for policies that support disaster resilience is essential for UPN’s sustainability. UPN will work with local and state governments to enact long-term, scalable solutions.
? Action Plan:
? Advocate for fire-safe infrastructure and increased funding for resilience projects.
? Push for stricter environmental protections and disaster-resistant building codes.
? Scale the UPN model to other neighborhoods, creating a citywide blueprint for disaster preparedness.
? Outcome:
? Stronger, more resilient infrastructure citywide.
? Policy changes that prioritize long-term sustainability and resilience.
?
Financial Considerations:
?
1. Initial Investment & Infrastructure:
Yes, UPN will require upfront investment for infrastructure, including setting up resilience hubs, purchasing emergency kits, and establishing educational programs. However, these costs should be viewed as a strategic investment in DTLA’s future resilience.
?
2. Funding Sources:
? Grants and Public Funding: FEMA’s BRIC program, state and local disaster preparedness grants.
? Private Sector Contributions: Corporate social responsibility initiatives, partnerships with local businesses.
? Donations and Philanthropy: From individuals, organizations, and philanthropic bodies invested in community resilience.
?
3. Cost Savings Through Prevention:
While UPN’s initial investment is necessary, it will ultimately save the city more money in the long term by:
? Reducing the need for expensive emergency response efforts.
? Minimizing damage from disasters through preemptive measures like fire prevention.
? Easing recovery efforts through coordinated, efficient responses.
?
4. Scalability:
Once the infrastructure and model are in place in DTLA, UPN can scale to other neighborhoods, thus benefiting the entire city. This scalable approach ensures that the return on investment grows over time.
?
Addressing Common Objections:
? “Where is the money going to come from?”
? While there will be an initial investment, the cost of doing nothing is far greater. The long-term savings in disaster recovery, healthcare, and infrastructure repair will more than offset the costs. Additionally, UPN can tap into existing funding sources like government grants, private donations, and partnerships.
? “Why invest in this now?”
? With a 42% probability of a state of emergency, the likelihood of needing a coordinated disaster response is high. Waiting for a disaster to declare a state of emergency is too late. UPN prepares DTLA to respond more effectively and equitably, ensuring that we don’t wait until the damage is done.
?
Expected Outcomes:
? A unified, disaster-ready DTLA that can quickly mobilize in the face of an emergency.
? Equitable access to disaster resources, ensuring no community is left behind, especially marginalized groups.
? A cultural shift towards proactive, community-driven disaster management.
? Scalable solutions that can extend across Los Angeles, creating a citywide framework for disaster preparedness.
?
Conclusion:
?
The United Preparedness Network is not just a theoretical proposal—it is a critical, actionable solution to the ongoing risk of disasters in DTLA. By investing in UPN, we ensure a future where our communities are safer, more resilient, and better equipped to face the challenges of the next disaster. The money invested in UPN will pay dividends in terms of lives saved, damages reduced, and a more stable, connected community ready to handle whatever comes its way. The time to act is now. Let’s not wait for the next disaster to be a reminder of how unprepared we are.
