What does the committee do? Example: EmergencyDeclared • Initial meeting to discuss and assess disaster • Create a plan to address issues • Then we implement the plan • Monitor what is going on and hold daily meetings in Bethel and teleconference with communities • Determine resources needed and deploy • Assess and Debrief after the disaster
How did we get organized? • We started in 2009 when Akiak flood happened. • In 2010-2013 we experienced more intense disasters. • In 2012 we drafted the YK Delta Regional Resource Coordination Committee Plan/Manual • This year, 2014 we drafted a MOU with all agencies
