While replacing outdated water lines, resilience workers discovered a metal blockage clogging the home’s main intake, missed by multiple plumbers for years! 🔧 This was tough, dirty work, and thanks to this team, this home can finally have safe, reliable water again. 💪🏽

It may be #HurricaneSeason, but the coastlines aren’t the only regions getting hit with severe weather events. ⛈️ This past week, the Midwest and Northern Plains were hit by a rare #derecho system, causing widespread damage and power outages. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

America’s story is an #immigrant story. Today’s resilience workers, many of them immigrants, are writing the next chapter. This #FourthofJuly, we honor the generations of immigrants who have built and rebuilt this nation since its inception. 🇺🇸. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

Despite being displaced himself, Kevin has repeatedly turned down alternative housing offers so others in need could have a place to stay. Inspired by Kevin’s selflessness, Resilience Force took on his recovery. 🛠️.

Meet Kevin. A small-town hardware store manager and community hero. Ever since #Hurricane Helene destroyed his generational home in #NorthCarolina, Kevin has been living at a local inn with his 80-year old father (and their beloved pet parrot 🦜). (continued)

Communities like Asheville are still recovering from Hurricane Helene, as another #hurricane season looms. If we want faster, stronger recoveries, we need to expand and protect the workforce that prepares for and rebuilds after climate disaster. A national resilience workforce.

Deadly tornadoes have already claimed 28 lives across the Midwest, and more severe weather is on the way. Recovery will be a long process, and with #HurricaneSeason fast approaching, every resilience worker in America is essential for the sake of our communities. #Tornado

It’s Hurricane Preparedness Week, but preparing for #hurricaneseason is a year-round effort. Our free training sessions equip workers with the skills to work safely and efficiently once disaster strikes. A strong, prepared workforce means a faster, more resilient recovery. 💪🏽

The workers who rebuild after disaster are #climatesolutions in action. ⚡️ As #climatechange fuels more frequent and severe disasters, America must prioritize building a robust resilience workforce. These are essential #greenjobs that protect our communities and heal the Earth.

Latinos make up 1/3 of America’s construction workers, but few are in leadership roles. Lindsey Navarro, Executive Director of @elcentrola, wants to see more Latinos stepping into roles where they can shape development and lead recovery efforts. 💪🏽. #ImmigrantsAreEssential

People often confuse resilience work with #construction work, but they’re not the same. The difference? Resilience work is disaster-focused—protecting people before and helping them rebuild after a crisis. It’s not just about structures—it’s about recovery and #resilience.
