    Cauca is part of Colombia’s coffee axis, along with other states in the South. Coffee moved to that region in part due to climate change and the opportunity to produce coffee at higher elevations. Cauca is a fascinating and equally complex state where an enormous natural and social diversity of indigenous, mestizo, and Afro-Colombian populations coexist with complex violence, tension, and climate risk.

    During the “Día del Campesino,” hundreds of farmers participated in the game to compare their knowledge and perceptions with data from remote sensing sources.

    In Phase 2 of the RCRC Initiative, NCDP now works with four disaster-affected communities in North Carolina and Puerto Rico. Their experiences have shaped the value they place in working jointly with community partners, building relationships and developing plans to meet the needs of children during recovery and in the event of future disaster.

    En la Fase 2 de la Iniciativa RCRC, NCDP ahora trabaja con cuatro comunidades afectadas por desastres en Carolina del Norte y Puerto Rico.

    In partnership with community leaders, the Resilient Children/Resilient Communities Initiative analyzed, recommended and implemented procedures, training, and guidance to help build child-focused community resilience to disasters. The RCRC Toolbox is a dynamic collection of resources developed and curated throughout this initiative for the benefit of those working to make our communities and our children more resilient to disasters. This collection of tools and resources should be shared widely with communities nationwide.

    The toolbox is categorized for different kinds of people or organizations that are looking for tools to assist in their preparedness and planning efforts: 1) child-serving institutions, 2) community emergency planners, 3) policymakers, and 4) individuals and families.
