notes: FROM THE WEBSITE: BRACE - the Be Ready Alliance Coordinating For Emergencies - is a local network for linking organizations active during disasters and interested persons. BRACE brings the community together to address emergency management issues and thus helps reduce loss of life, injury, property damage, environmental impact and economic loss due to disasters. Through fostering communication, cooperation, collaboration and coordination among a partnership of private, public and non-profit organizations, BRACE will help our community become more prepared, resilient and self-sufficient. Who We Are BRACE launched on March 31, 2006 with more than 200 present at Pensacola Junior College when Craig Fugate, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, addressed a "Culture of Preparedness" and subject matter experts presented information about preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Recognizing that recovery from Hurricane Ivan was delayed because of the absence of an organization focused on disaster preparedness and response, the leadership of the Long Term Recovery Committee served as a catalyst for the establishment of BRACE. Former Gov. Jeb Bush set a budgetary priority to establish a "Culture of Preparedness" to ensure Floridians and their local governments take the necessary safety measures in preparation for hurricanes. "BRACE's first priority is promoting personal responsibility and self-sufficiency in times of emergency," said Greg Strader, interim executive director. "This is especially critical due to the National Hurricane Center's prediction of a decade or more of frequent and intense hurricanes." Disaster planning and preparedness enhances the effectiveness of response and speeds recovery. Engaging all sectors of the community will provide additional resources for disaster preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. -> FROM THE WEBSITE: BRACE - the Be Ready Alliance Coordinating For Emergencies - is a local network for linking organizations active during disasters and interested persons.

Engaging all sectors of the community will provide additional resources for disaster preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. The Mission of BRACE is to have every individual, church, business, nonprofit and civic organization involved in ensuring that our community is able to respond to and quickly recover from any type of disaster. The Escambia County Office of Emergency Management is responsible for managing emergencies, but they cannot do it alone. There are many critical services needed to address the impacts of disaster that require the involvement of community based organizations. In partnership with Escambia County Office of Emergency Management, BRACE coordinates that involvement. The current BRACE Program of Work includes services such as promoting personal responsibility and self-sufficiency during disasters, providing childcare to first responders (emergency management personnel) and continuing life-saving services to the homebound (persons with disabilites and frail elderly) during and after a disaster.
