Incorporating Homeless Populations into Disaster Preparedness, Planning and Response
Co-Sponsored by ASPR
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
8:00am - 2:40pm (Lunch will be provided)
People experiencing homelessness can be especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of disasters due to compounding factors such as chronic illness, substance use disorders, location instability, and extreme poverty. Homeless populations therefore often encounter obstacles in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery, which also present challenges for service providers, the public health community, emergency responders, and policy makers.
This workshop will continue an ongoing call to action, led by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Emergency Management Evaluation Center (VEMEC), to improve integration of considerations for people experiencing homelessness into disaster preparedness planning and response by identifying gaps and solution strategies. Subject matter experts and other participants will focus on three areas of needs:
(1) Communications;
(2) Training and Technical Assistance for Community-Based Organizations; and
(3) Guidance for Health Care Providers.
This forum will bring together key researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to help establish priority next steps for research, programs, and policy within these three domains to more effectively serve homeless populations during and after disasters and public health emergencies. We hope you will be able to join us for this discussion!
Please register here to participate.
Workshop Registration Fee: $150
Discounted Workshop Fee for Homeless Direct Service Provider Organizations (Non-profits): $50

Fed Event-Mary 1st-5th Annual Social Enterprise Symposium
On March 1, 2013, the Center for Social Value Creation will host its 5th annual Social Enterprise Symposium at the University of Maryland. I'm writing today to invite you and all students of the Federal Semester to be participants of this unique event. Please "Save the Date" !
As you may know, the Symposium is one of the largest annual events on campus, and one of the biggest on social responsibility and social value creation in the Washington DC area. The Symposium covers a range of topics from sustainability to social entrepreneurship, and explores the role of business as a driver of both economic prosperity and positive social and environmental change. It attracts students and faculty from all disciplines, as well as entrepreneurs, nonprofit and corporate leaders, philanthropists, and the local community. (Last year’s event drew 1,200 registrants - more than doubling attendance from the year prior - and in 2013 we’re expecting even more!)
The Symposium will take place on Friday, March 1, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m and feature two independent keynotes from industry leaders, twelve break-out sessions, our annual “No Limits” Social Impact Pitch Competition, guided “sustainable campus” tours with our friends at the Office of Sustainability, a catered networking reception (newly revamped to create a more lively and engaging atmosphere for students and professionals), and so much more.
Registration will open in early January via the Social Enterprise Symposium website (currently under construction with updates)
