FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships are updating “Engaging Faith-Based and Community Organizations: Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers.” Originally published in June 2018, this document outlines best practices for engaging faith-based and community organizations before, during, and after disasters to help jurisdictions improve their resilience and emergency management capabilities. These organizations can also be significant force multipliers, particularly in reaching high-risk and historically underserved community members.
The update to “Engaging Faith-Based and Community Organizations: Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers” will include lessons learned from real-world events, updates to FEMA programs, additional resources, and recommendations from the public and key stakeholders. FEMA will host several 60-minute listening sessions to provide an overview of the existing 2018 document and include a facilitated discussion to gather feedback on areas to improve the guide. To learn more about the update effort and listening sessions, please visit FEMA.gov.
As part of the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) the State of Michigan is conducting a survey to determine the interests and needs of the eligible population which includes:
County, municipality, city, town, township, village, local public authority, school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments (regardless of whether the council of governments is incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under State law), regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government; an Indian tribe or authorized tribal organization, or in Alaska a Native village or Alaska Regional Native Corporation; and a rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public entity.
The survey is designed to collect information from local government entities who are eligible to participate in the Fiscal Year 2022 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). This participation may include receiving state provided services, or future year SLCGP funding opportunities.
The survey is an assessment, designed to ascertain a local entity’s interest and potential need for cybersecurity services outlined in this survey through the grant period of performance ending 8/31/2026. Information regarding the grant’s requirements can be found on the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Website and at Michigan.gov/Cybergrants.
A local government entity’s participation in this survey signals an interest and an intention to participate in the SLCGP, provided that an award is made available to the State of Michigan. Participation in the survey and needs assessment provided will be used to understand and prioritize the use of awarded funds, but survey participation does not guarantee funding will be available to meet the needs for all submissions.

The MDHHS Test to Treat (T2T) program was recently recognized by FORUM as a 2023 Disruptive Tech Program Award winner for its partnership with the National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network (NETCCN). This national award recognizes disrupters that are leading and transforming federal information technology. T2T removed barriers and improved access to outpatient COVID-19 treatments, and MDHHS worked with NETCCN to provide on-site telehealth services for rapid access to no-cost COVID-19 antiviral medications for those who tested positive.
Michigan was the first state to launch the federal T2T initiative at a neighborhood-based test site. T2T highlighted the reach and impact of virtual health care in communities.
Congratulations to the MDHHS Medical Countermeasure Team, and our own Theresa Jenkins, within the Bureau of Emergency Preparedness EMS and Systems of Care and the COVID-19 Testing, Collection and Coordination Team within the Bureau of Infectious Disease Prevention for their partnership and teamwork launching the T2T program.
