Engagement: Bridging the Gap

---

We attend community and business preparedness events. We provide information on the importance of talking with children about disaster BEFORE it happens.

Some events we have participated in include:

• Haselwood YMCA Healthy Kids Day 2019 (Silverdale, WA)
• Amazon Prepare 2018 (Seattle, Washington)
• Wear Blue to Remember 2018 (Dupont, Washington)
• Starbucks Preparedness Fair 2018 (Seattle , Washington)

Our website is a vehicle for public awareness. It is a living document and we are always interested in input from our viewers that would enhance its value to multiple community segments.

If you would like us to participate in your disaster preparedness awareness event, or if you have thoughts or ideas for input into our website, please email us at contact@blocksusa.or

The importance of childcare is often under-recognized in the business community, but the reality is that many businesses would not be able to function without its existence in their local community.

We provide keynote and conference speaking support that help enable business continuity planners to holistically plan for disaster.

Most recently we provided speeches at the:

• Continuity Planners Association of the Carolinas (CPAC) Symposium (Concord, North Carolina)

If you would like to have us present at your conference, please email us at contact@blocksusa.org. Honorariums are appreciated and help defray travel and operational expenses.

Disaster is local. Emergency mangers work extremely hard to prepare their communities for disaster and recover, should on strike. BLOCKS leadership is comprised of many trained emergency managers and we are dedicated to helping bridge the gap between emergency management and childcare. 

We provide keynote and conference speaking support that help enable emergency mangers to better understand the needs and limitations of childcare.
