  2. Dependencies • Since we are a training agency, we don’t have a large dependency on supplies or vendors. • Our major operational dependency is related to accurate and timely information from trusted sources in an emergency. • Our major dependencies for sustainability are funding related. • Our next major dependency is our donated office space and equipment.

  3. Interdependencies • San Francisco Interfaith Council • American Red Cross Bay Area • Regional intermediary agencies (CADRE, THRIVE, CARD) • Local Public Sector (San Francisco Dept. of Emergency Management HSA, DPH, Mayor’s Office on Disabilities, NEN, etc.) • State Agencies (California Volunteers; CalEMA) • Federal Agencies (FEMA Region IX; DHS Center for Faith-Based & Neighborhood Partnerships) • Private Sector (BOMA, BRMA)

  4. Addressing Regional Interdependencies Challenges • Joined organizations such as: • BACSPP(Bay Area Cross Sector Partners in Preparedness) • California Resiliency Alliance • Bay Area Center for Regional Disaster Resilience • Working with private sectorbusinessesthroughoutthe Bay Area • Establishingcontactswith Bay Area publicsectordisastermanagers

Addressing the Priority Gaps • Priority gaps related to gaining information AND mitigating potential interdependencies-related impacts affecting disaster recovery. • Narrowing our scope of information gathering to the most trusted sources • Assessing the accuracy and relevancy of the information • Avoiding the potential for information overload

  6. Actions to Address the Gaps • Creating stronger cross-sector relationships • Accessing opportunities for exchanging information with these partners in an emergency • Proactive use of the various information-sharing platforms (Interagency Chatter)
