July 2018: we gathered for three days in Newark, part of the NJ/NY metropolitan region with coastal neighborhoods & infrastructure vulnerable to storm surges and flooding. On Day One, we focused on the Crisis Convening topic. On Day Two & Three, the agenda-setting power moved to the participants for the Barnraising.
Who attended?El Salvador: REACCIÓN Red de Acción Comunitaria (Emilio Velis)
DECENTRALIZED (not place-based) RESPONSE ORGS: Mutual Aid Disaster Response (Tyler Norman, Sarah Lang), Grassroots Aid Partnership "GAP" (Tenali Hrenak), Willow Bl00. Documentation:
ScheduleEvent detailsLocation: New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark. Central King Building "CKB" Room 116 (seats 80), and two additional breakout classrooms (seats 30-45).
MeetingSpaceSee pictures of 1) room 116 in Central King Building where we will be meeting, 2) the breakout classroom 114, and 3) the adjacent student lounge: Committees
What do we mean by Crisis Convening?Hurricane season 2017: Harvey, Irma, and Maria—each storm spreading more devastation across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Many months later, communities are still recovering—especially Puerto Rico, where our government has outright failed its citizens. Our climate is obviously changing, and the resulting storms are intensifying: tornadoes, floods, even earthquakes (probably unrelated to climate, but now a new threat in areas with heavy fracking). We do not seem to be particularly well-prepared. There are official response agencies with mandates to rescue, feed, heal, and rebuild; however, the true first responders are always people who live in the affected regions: neighbors and community leaders. After 2017’s hurricane season, a network of people formed with interest in improving the capacity for disaster response to more effectively support local priorities and leadership in times of crisis. Together, this network and Public Lab are now calling for the convening of people who have worked together through crises such as Sandy, Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the like. Together, we will share experiences and skills, explore ways to promote equity and justice through modern crisis response, and build resources for community-first response on Friday, June 13, and then continue the conversation over the weekend of Barnraising: Saturday, July 14, and Sunday, July 15.

Look for the sign-up sheet in the main room. Note: All other timeslots are dedicated to interactive formats, not one-directional presentations. Reporters are needed to take notes on activities, to be written up into a newspaper each evening. One page flyer (PDF, good for email/print): 2018_Newark_Barnraising_Announcement.pdf.
