Louisiana HPP Grant Application - BP1 - Project Abstract: Louisiana HPP BP1 Application – FY 2024-2025 Summary Overview Louisiana’s grant application addresses the continuing development and maintenance of one (1) Healthcare Coalition integrated with State ESF8 throughout all phases of a disaster cycle . HPP Core Functions and Performance Measures are guideposts to the overall implementation. The grant application demonstrates that implementation of Louisiana’s statewide Healthcare Coalition is anchored in the following elements: addressing community needs; building connectivity; saving lives; integration with ESF8 as well integration with ESF1-16; sensitivity and incorporation of the needs of At-Risk populations, timely collection of essential elements of information; robust platforms for information sharing; scalable response coordination, and continuity of operations. LA ESF8 is Response-Ready: The multi-year investments of the HPP grant has demonstrated high yields with recent catastrophic storms of Laura 2020 and Ida 2021 and multiple severe weather events in 2022-2024. • The ability of a community to provide disaster relief and recovery depends to a great extent on the effectiveness of its community networks. • The mobilization and use of resources during and following a disaster event are strongly dependent on the community’s capacity to adapt to change, and are related to the strength of its networks. • Rigorous coordinated planning and optimal allocation of resources are necessary for disaster preparedness, community resilience, and response.
