Through by a million - dollar grant
from the Walton Family Foundation, 4.0 Schools funded Densen's research as he
planned the
concepts underlying Bricolage Academy — including a significant emphasis on listening sessions around New Orleans — and will next help him hire a leadership team and
begin training educators for the school.
In the context of humanitarian aid and disaster preparedness, the Red Cross Climate Centre / IRI have proposed a «Ready - Set - Go»
concept for making use of forecasts
from weather to seasonal, in which seasonal forecasts are used to
begin monitoring of subseasonal and short - range forecasts, update contingency
plans, train volunteers, and enable early warning systems («Ready»); sub-monthly forecasts are used to alert volunteers, warn communities («Set»); and, weather forecasts are then used to activate volunteers, distribute instructions to communities, and evacuate if needed («Go»).
