Resilience Force

Thousands of resilience workers will soon start repairing FL after Hurricane #Ian’s destruction. The resilience workforce makes recovery possible. To learn about our work read the @NewYorker feature about our work. Stay tuned for updates on the recovery. bit.ly/3xVL5xt

The team has been scouting across the #GulfCoast this week in the wake of #HurricaneIsaias, which brought destructive winds, flooding, and tornadoes. At least 9 deaths have been reported, with initial damage estimates reaching $2 billion.

#TropicalStorm Isaias is forecast to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season. 🌀 Isaias is still developing, and its exact track and intensity can change. After a quiet start, this is a reminder that #hurricaneseason is far from over. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

From mitigation to infrastructure projects, resilience work helps protect communities and reduce damage before disaster strikes. As #climatechange fuels more extreme weather, investing in resilience is more important than ever. Communities need more funding, not less.

We came to Asheville to help residents rebuild after #Hurricane Helene. Over nearly 2 years, the work has brought together people whose paths might never have crossed, working toward a shared goal and forming relationships that extend far beyond the work itself. 🤍

At Taylor Mountain in #SonomaCounty, resilience workers spent three weeks restoring natural systems through gully stuffing and beaver dam analogs 🪵, helping the landscape hold more water, reduce erosion, and better withstand extreme conditions.

Behind every recovery are highly skilled workers who make it possible. This #LaborDay, we celebrate America’s resilience workforce who work year-round to prepare our communities against disaster. They deserve good pay, strong standards, and opportunities to build a better future.

#HurricaneLala has moved past Hawaiʻi, but its impacts are far from over as communities begin the long road to recovery. A powerful #ElNiño year is raising hurricane risks across the Pacific, while the Atlantic remains relatively quiet. #ClimateResilience #HurricaneSeason

2 weeks after completing our basic electrical and plumbing training, Eduard is already applying what he learned on the job in Asheville. This is work that he would have previously needed to call an electrician to complete. ⚡️ #ImmigrantsAreEssential #ClimateResilience

From coast to coast, communities are feeling the impacts of another devastating #wildfireseason. 🔥 #WildfireSmoke is a growing workplace hazard, and employers have a responsibility to protect workers from exposure. #ClimateResilience #ImmigrantsAreEssential

From repairing damaged electrical systems to plumbing, these are the skills that help communities recover after disaster. Cynthia, National Training Director, explains why #WorkforceDevelopment is essential to helping communities recover and rebuild. #ImmigrantsAreEssential – at New Orleans, LA

America’s story cannot be told without the contributions of Black Americans, who have helped build and move our nation forward for generations. 🇺🇸 Today, we honor that legacy while working toward a future rooted in justice and resilient communities. Happy #Juneteenth.

👏🏽 Strength In Unity 👏🏽 We held our 2nd quarterly member meeting in New Orleans yesterday, as another #HurricaneSeason begins. When resilience workers stand together, we are better equipped to protect our communities. Community is our greatest strength. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

Our wildfire resilience training program made the front page news on The Aspen Times 📰 aspentimes.com/news/aspen-ho… #LandManagement #GreenJobs #WildfirePrevention #ClimateResilience

Another #HurricaneSeason is here. 🌀 For many communities, recovery from last year’s storms never ended. With @noaa forecasting 8–14 hurricanes this season, investing in the workforce that prepares for, responds to, and recovers from #naturaldisasters is more critical than ever.

The best leaders never stop learning. 🧠 This week, our National Training Director, Cynthia Hernández, attended the “Design & Delivery Curriculum for #AdultLearners” course @Cornell University. Stronger educators build stronger resilience workers, teams, and communities. ✊🏽

This week, resilience workers completed the S-112 #Wildfire Chainsaws training, part of the work that helps reduce wildfire risk and protect communities. 🔥 May is #WildfireAwarenessMonth, and this work has never been more urgent. 🚨 @northbayjwj @landpaths – at California, USA

Recovery is labor. Resilience is built by workers. May Day is a reminder that it takes skilled, committed workers to keep our communities standing. When we stand with workers, we strengthen every community they rebuild. ✊🏽 #ImmigrantsAreEssential #WorkersRights #MayDay

Resilience workers turn climate solutions into climate action by restoring, rebuilding, and protecting our communities. 
🌎 This #EarthDay, protect the planet by protecting the people who rebuild it. #ImmigrantsAreEssential #ResilienceForce #DisasterRecovery #ClimateAction
