Over the course of the last several weeks, we have been working on some pretty big things here at Chasing4Life. As the team members have changed some, Chasing4Life has narrowed its focus more than ever and we are looking at a year of more powerful educational events than our fans and followers have ever seen before. In a partnership with Fedhealth, Chasing4Life is now a part of a fantastic program featuring the "It's A Disaster" books (see previous blog entry). Chasing4Life members will be presenting special programs with this partnership across the country and will be assisting communities in acquiring these comprehensive books for entire populations. We are working with more EMA's, chambers, libraries, health departments, churches and non-profits than ever before!
In a partnership with several Girl Scout Councils, Eddy and Alannah will be touring the United States beginning in September of 2010 for 12 months presenting new programs on animals in disaster, severe weather science, severe weather safety, earthquakes, disaster preparedness and more as Girl Scouts are now being given the opportunity to actually earn a CHASING4LIFE merit badge! This is huge for us and we want to thank Courtney in Vernon Hills, Illinois for her efforts in making all this possible! Watch our online calendar for Girl Scout dates and make sure if your GS Council has not booked yet, that they do it soon! Dates have filled into mid 2011 pretty quick!
Chasing4Life will now be offering special programs and training presentation/workshops featuring depiction, a mapping software for planning disaster mitigation and response. Check back for more details.
