The Whore Community approach states that preparing for, mitigating, responding to, and recovering from a disaster requires a method in which the entire community is empowered to work together as partners within government, non-profit, and the public and private sector (see http://www.fema.gov/whole community). Through a contract with FEMA, the CDC Foundation and CDC's OPHPR have identified examples of existing community efforts that exemplify a Whole Community approach to emergency management. As a result, several of these communities are invited to apply for subcontracts up to $50,000 to continue existing program efforts and/or enhance current preparedness initiatives. The CDC Foundation and the COC wiU award, publicize, and evaluate these select community initiatives that reflect and embody key principles of a public engagement strategy to build emergency preparedness and resilience Upon completion of the contract, it is expected that not only will promising examples of community engagement within the context of emergency preparedness and resilience be identified and publidzed, but their lessons learned will be synthesized to provide recommendations for duplication of similar efforts within other communities. It is expected that all of these activities will build and strengthen partnerships, empower local action, celebrate community work, and ultimately create a collective body of knowledge among the emergency management team nationally that supports a Whole Community approach to emergency management.
