IMMIGRANT SUPPORT NETWORK

Serving all Santa Clara County

OVERVIEW OF CADRE’S SUPPORT NETWORKS:

The Immigrant Support Network is one of 20 networks CADRE is developing to facilitate communication for nongovernmental organizations in Santa Clara County throughout the disaster cycle. These networks are broken up by different community services and functions to allow for more focused communication. The networks are designed to give organizations a way to quickly find and share information, collaborate, and communicate, before, during, and after disaster. Fill out the short Network Sign Up Form to ensure that you are included in updates about the networks you are interested in joining.

NETWORK UPDATES:

The Immigrant Support Network has been developed and is currently being built out. Any updates to the network will be noted here.

COMMUNICATION TOOLS:

1.) Web page – This web page and the forms, lists, and map within it will be updated regularly and used for continuous network coordination and information sharing during disasters.

2.) Live Chat – As the network develops, they will decide upon a live chat platform for  communication during disaster. This live chat platform will provide major disaster announcements, urgent updates and requests, and welfare checks on organizations to quickly understand disaster impacts and immediate needs.

3.) Meetings – The network will decide upon a regular meeting schedule as it is developed. During disasters, meetings will be expanded at the network leadership’s discretion and by request.

4.) Back up methods of communication may include emails, phone and in person meetings, and utilization of Ham Radio and/or information centers in the case of technological challenges during an emergency. These backups are still being developed and decided upon.
