The City, CARD, and the lead CBO agencies enter into a MOU delineating the specific alliance responsibilities of each member. Two CBO's are selected as lead agencies to represent the City's CBO community. Thus, CARD and the CBOs enhance the City's response and recovery efforts by providing their unique expertise and knowledge involving the vulnerable population. Quarterly meetings focus on emergency management issues involving preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery topics. This forum provides essential networking and sharing of preparedness information and resources between the City, CARD, and the CBO community.
Funding is an essential part of any program.
CARD provides the City on-going emergency management services, which are essential to the success of The Triad Alliance and the City's overall emergency response strategy. Because of this, the City has added CARD to its annual budget as a permanent part of the Emergency Services Division's budget. All rights reserved.
