Member Duties : The VISTA member will alleviate poverty by assisting disadvantaged communities with economic development activities that will increase and retain job opportunities in the region. The VISTA will work with the Regional Resiliency Partnership (RRP) Committee to collect data such as existing building codes, current insurance rates, and existing infrastructure to identify areas that are prone to extensive storm and flood damage. The VISTA will assist the Homeland Security team to host the annual Hurricane conference and will work with the Community Outreach Coordinator to catalog existing broadband and telecom infrastructure using GIS. The VISTA will conduct outreach to stakeholders, schedule and conduct meetings, assist in developing action plans, follow up on key tasks, and track progress.
