The last three disaster-impacted years should not be chalked up to once-in-a-lifetime occurrences. To strengthen our community, we must continue to build resiliency to respond to the next disaster. There have been good steps in that direction recently, such as creating the Office of Response, Recovery & Resilience (OR3) in Santa Cruz County. Still, more must be done to ensure funding is available to support first-responding nonprofits providing direct aid and support. For some, the March 11 flood in Pajaro was the fourth time in the past 28 years that they’ve been devastated by preventable flooding. For others, the bomb cyclone and howling winds that hammered the San Lorenzo Valley in January and March erased years of progress and put more families in need of recovery who had already been gripping from the CZU Complex Fires in 2020.Last year, Community Bridges lost close to 30% of our operating budget for the Family Resource Collective due to the County’s CORE funding allocations and priority shifts. If it were not for funders who provided bridge support, none of the assistance we’ve provided during the most recent disasters would have been possible.As we continue to prepare for the next emerging need and emergency, we must ensure that we invest in our community to be ready to respond in the future. ...
