STATEMENT OF WORK

FEMA REGION 10 - TRIBAL YOUTH PREPAREDNESS TRAINING

1. Background: The mission of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is helping people before, during, and after disasters. FEMA Region 10 serves local and state governments, and 271 federally-recognized tribal governments in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. FEMA Region 10’s Tribal Youth Preparedness Initiative will create a cadre of tribal youth who are resilient, future-minded, and engaged in emergency preparedness. FEMA Region 10 has partnered with the Tulalip Tribes in Washington and is seeking contracting support to provide Tulalip tribal youth with a one-week (5 consecutive days) preparedness training opportunity. Tulalip tribal youth participants will be introduced to the fundamental skills to be effective emergency preparedness leaders within their community and to foster a tribal culture of preparedness.

2. Objectives:

a. Provide cultural resiliency training, which includes at a minimum one emergency response module, for 80 tribal youth. Cultural resilience refers to a culture's capacity to maintain and develop cultural identity and critical cultural knowledge and practices. A resilient culture engages with other challenges such as natural disasters and encounters with other cultures, and manages to continue.

b. Provide Teen Community Emergency Response Team (Teen CERT) training for 30 tribal youth. The training will integrate tribal culture and values into the existing CERT training.

c. All training will take place during the five day period July 16-20, 2018.

ii. Teen CERT – obtain and provide FEMA approved Teen CERT curriculum, including a practical drill, for delivery to 30 Tulalip tribal youth.

iii. Curriculum must include a “give-back” (i.e., community service) module for youth to identify and plan a follow-up family or community activity to demonstrate learned skills and engage with the community on emergency preparedness.
