IT IS STEP-BY-STEP PROGRAM TO IDENTIFY THE BEST PRACTICES FOR MITIGATING, REPAIRING OR REBUILDING HOMES TO GREEN, FORTIFIED GOLD STANDARDS, THUS REDUCING COMMUNITIES' RISK TO STORMS, HEAT AND OTHER THREATS. DR. TIM REINHOLD HAS DESIGNED THE RESOURCES BASED ON THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS AND HOME SAFETY (IBHS) FORTIFIED CODES, THE NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BUILDING STANDARDS. OVER THE PAST YEAR WITH PARTNERSHIPS WITH MANY ORGANIZATIONS, LOWLANDER HAS BEEN ABLE TO REBUILD AND/OR REPAIR HOMES IN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES DESTROYED BY RECENT HURRICANES TO THIS STANDARD. 134165 166233 SOLAR ENERGY FOR THE COAST AS WELL AS SAFE DRINKING WATER IS CRITICAL FOR COASTAL AND DELTA COMMUNITIES IN LOUISIANA. OUR WORK TARGETS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR RELIABLE WATER AND ENERGY TO THE REGIONS UNIQUE NEEDS. COASTAL COMMUNITIES ARE OFTEN THE FIRST TO LOSE POWER AND WATER, AND THE LAST TO HAVE IT RESTORED. POWER AND WATER OUTAGES THREATEN HEALTH LIVELIHOODS DURING EXTREME HEAT AND STORMS. IN THIS PAST YEAR LOWLANDER HAS INCREASED THE NUMBER OF SOLAR AND STORAGE BATTERIES IN CRITICAL AREAS ACROSS THE MOST AT-RISK AREAS OF THE STATE, INCLUDING SEVERAL IN-LAND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. MODERN CISTERNS THAT CAN PROVIDE POTABLE WATER IS CLEARLY NEEDED AND BEING PLANNED AT SEVERAL COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED REGULAR IRREGULARITIES WITH WATER. 119912 50000 ENVIRONMENTAL CARE, HEALING PROJECTS CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PERMITTING FOR BACKFILLING CANALS, LIVING SHORELINES, BIO-CHAR AND SEED BALLS WITH COMMUNITIES WHO ARE INVOLVED WITH RISING VOICES, CHANGING COASTS, A NSF COPE CONVERGENT SCIENCE PROJECT.

FORM 990, PART III IDA RECOVERY RESILIENT REBUILDS. REBUILDING THE BOOT HAS GUIDED OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR THE REBUILDING OF HOMES ALONG THE COAST OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. OUR GROWING NETWORK OF AT-RISK FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES, FAITH- BASED, AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME AND LABOR TO REBUILD HOMES TO THOSE SAID GREEN, FORTIFIED GOLD STANDARDS OUTLINED IN REBUILDING THE BOOT - ALREADY DEMONSTRATING REPLICABLE, PILOT SUCCESS - AND HIGHLIGHTING THAT THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND NETWORKS NECESSARY TO REBUILD HOMES AND STRUCTURES - TO WEATHER HURRICANES, CLEAR STORM SURGES, SHELTER- IN-PLACE - WORKS. THE HOMES IN ONE COMMUNITY, FORTIFIED REBUILT HOMES AND STRUCTURES, REMAINED UNDAMAGED FROM A RECENT HURRICANE AND SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENTS. LOWLANDER AND ITS PARTNERS WORK TO MAKE THESE FORTIFIED REBUILDING STANDARDS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY FRONTLINE COMMUNITY. CLIMATE RESILIENCE CENTER. THE GRAND CAILLOU/DULAC BAND OF BILOXI- CHITIMACHA-CHOCTAW COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM OFFICE (COPO) IS AN AMERICAN RED CROSS/LOWLANDER DESIGNATED CLIMATE RESILIENCE HUB PROVIDING ESSENTIAL DISASTER RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS SERVICES. LOWLANDER IS PART OF A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO SECURE FUNDING TO CREATE THE TRIBE'S FIRST CENTRAL OFFICE, WHICH NOW SERVES THE COMMUNITY IN A VARIETY OF MEANINGFUL WAYS. FOR EXAMPLE: DURING HURRICANE FRANCINE LAST YEAR, AT THE COPO, WITH ONE SOLAR UNIT (5-KILOWATT (5 KW)) WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A/C, REFRIGERATION, COOKING ELEMENTS DURING THE POWER OUTAGE, SERVING 700-1,000 PEOPLE IN 2024 (THE SOLAR UNIT IS PART OF LOWLANDER'S SKY POWER FOR THE PEOPLE WORK). THE COPO IS RUN BY TRIBAL LEADERS AND IS OPEN TO THE WIDER GRAND CAILLOU/DULAC COMMUNITY PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SOCIAL AND DISASTER SERVICES, AND AN AREA FOR DEMONSTRATION/TRAINING EVENTS. ENERGY TRANSITION - THE NEED FOR RELIABLE ENERGY IS THE CORE OF THE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE LOWLANDER CENTER AND HARVARD SALATA INSTITUTE WHICH BEGAN WITH THE ROOSEVELT PROJECT AND IS NOW A CONTINUING EXPANDING PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS, SCHOLARS, PRACTITIONERS WORK TOGETHER IN KNOWLEDGE-EXCHANGE APPLIED ACTIVITIES. THIS COLLABORATION PROVIDES RESEARCH FOR AND KNOWLEDGE-EXCHANGE ON DESIGNING SOLAR UNITS TO MEET THE REGIONAL NEEDS OF COASTAL AND BAYOU COMMUNITIES IN LOUISIANA, OUTLINING REGULATORY CONDITIONS FOR "ON-GRID- AND "OFF-GRID" ENERGY TRANSITION, AND IDENTIFYING THE STEPS TO IMPLEMENT THESE REGIONALLY-TAILORED SOLAR SOLUTIONS AT SCALE: ALL OF WHICH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF SKY POWER FOR THE PEOPLE. EFFICIENCY IN ENERGY USAGE BY THE TYPES OF REBUILDING TECHNIQUES IS CORE TO CUTTING THE NEED FOR GENERATING ENERGY- BOTH CONCEPTS COME TOGETHER WITH OUR WORK. THIS COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP IS NOW TURNING TO COMPREHENSIVE BASELINE TESTING AND MONITORING OF SOIL, WATER, AND AQUATIC ORGANISMS AS A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO WETLAND RESTORATION. THIS EFFORT BRINGS TOGETHER EXPERTISE FROM ACROSS HARVARD UNIVERSITY, DRAWING ON STATE-OF-THE-ART WATER QUALITY EQUIPMENT FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING LABS, METAL AND PFAS TESTING CAPABILITIES FROM THE HARVARD RESEARCH GROUP FOR THE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY OF GLOBAL CONTAMINANTS, AND THE SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE OF OIL SPILL RESEARCH LEADERS AT THE WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION (AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, SUB-SURFACE DYNAMIC STUDIES OF THE TAYLOR LAB). MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT CENTERS TRIBAL COMMUNITIES, WHO WILL GUIDE THE SELECTION OF TEST SITES THROUGH PLACE-BASED KNOWLEDGE, ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN DATA COLLECTION, AND MAINTAIN DATA SOVEREIGNTY. WITH THE SUPPORT OF HARVARD'S LABORATORIES, STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND TRIBAL LEADERS AND ELDERS HAVE CONDUCTED A PILOT BASELINE TESTING IN POINTE AU CHIEN WITH THE POINTE-AU- CHIEN INDIAN TRIBE (PACIT) IN SPRING 2025 TO COLLECT CRITICAL DATA THAT WILL INFORM REGENERATIVE, NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR COASTAL AND WETLAND RESTORATION. THIS WORK COMPLIMENTS THE COLLABORATION WITH RISING VOICES, CHANGING COAST NSF HUB WORK MENTIONED LATER. NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS - CANAL BACKFILLING. DECADES OF DEFORESTATION, OIL, AND GAS EXPLORATION HAVE SEVERELY DAMAGED THE ECOSYSTEM. NEGLECTED CANALS FRAGMENT THE LANDSCAPE, INCREASING VULNERABILITY TO SALTWATER INTRUSION, STORM SURGE, AND EROSION. CURRENT PRACTICES DISREGARD INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES' DEEP ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE, ENDANGERING TRADITIONAL LIFEWAYS. OUR SUITE OF DISTRIBUTED BIOMIMETIC SOLUTIONS OFFER A LESS EXPENSIVE, MORE RESILIENT, EASIER TO CONSTRUCT, MORE NIMBLE APPROACH. THIS ALSO MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO DISTRIBUTE INCOME FROM INSTALLATIONS AMONG COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND SMALL LOCAL ENTERPRISES FOR COASTAL RESTORATION. OUR TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDE PLANTED BIOCHAR AND INOCULATED-BIOMASS EROSION WADDLES, LIVING SHORELINES, CONSTRUCTED FLOATANTS, REGENERATIVE AQUA/AGRICULTURE, ENCAPSULATED-SEED DISPERSAL, FRESHWATER-LENS RECHARGING, CANAL BACKFILLING, AND RIPARIAN-BUFFER REFORESTATION. LOUISIANA'S WETLANDS ARE RAPIDLY ERODING, THREATENING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, RESILIENCE, AND BIODIVERSITY. CURRENT MITIGATION PRACTICES ARE CARBON-INTENSIVE, UNEARTHING ANCIENT SEDIMENTS, ALONG WITH THEIR ASSOCIATED METHANE AND CARBON EMISSIONS. ADDITIONALLY, ANNUAL RAINFALL CAUSES INLAND FLOODING AND CARRIES NON- POINT-SOURCE URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL STORMWATER POLLUTION DIRECTLY INTO SOME OF OUR MOST SENSITIVE COMMUNITIES AND BIOLOGICAL HABITATS. OUR SOLUTIONS ARE SCALABLE: REGENERATING A DAMAGED ECOSYSTEM THAT IS HOME TO COUNTLESS SPECIES, AND ENDANGERED COMMUNITIES. CLIMATE ADAPTATION LAND TRUSTS AND REMATRIATION. FOR THE PAST 2.5 YEARS THROUGH SUPPORT FROM A NOAA GRANT THE LOWLANDER CENTER HAS COLLABORATED WITH INDIGENOUS LEADERS WHO HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED WITH LAND ISSUES, LAND TAKINGS, LAND MANAGEMENT ISSUES AND LAND BEING DAMAGED BY VARIOUS SOURCES. WORK HAS GONE ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO DISCERN HOW VARIOUS LAWS AND REGULATIONS HAVE EITHER CONTRIBUTED OR HELPED IN THE REGAINING OR REMATRIATION OF INDIGENOUS LAND. VISITING AND LEARNING FROM A VARIETY OF COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE REGAINED STEWARDSHIP OF THEIR LAND, SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE HUMAN AND NON-HUMAN LIFE THAT THOSE SITES EMBRACE. INITIAL GOAL IS TO WORK TOWARDS CLIMATE ADAPTATION LAND TRUSTS. WHILE SEEKING A VISION OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE, WE EXPLORE THESE ISSUES IN VARIOUS COMMUNITIES, IN VARIOUS STATES, AND WITH MULTIPLE PRIVATE, NON- PROFIT AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES. DISASTER JUSTICE NETWORK - FOLLOWING HURRICANES LAURA AND DELTA, LOWLANDER TEAM MEMBERS AND DISASTER RECOVERY PROFESSIONALS FORMED THE DISASTER JUSTICE NETWORK (DJN). DJN IS A VOLUNTEER NETWORK LENDING SUPPORT TO SHARE CRITICAL INFORMATION THAT IS NOT EASILY ACCESSED FOR THE DISASTER RECOVERY PROCESSES. THE NETWORK INCLUDES COMMUNITY LEADERS, FAITH LEADERS, ADVOCATES, ACTIVISTS, PRACTITIONERS, RESEARCHERS, AND STUDENTS WEAVING TOGETHER EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES THAT MAKE COMMUNITIES SAFER, KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER, AND ENSURE THAT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO RESILIENT RECOVERY. THIS NETWORK HAS LENT AID/SUPPORT TO MULTIPLE COMMUNITIES POST DISASTER EVENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. DJN HAS PRESENTED AT THE NATURAL HAZARDS WORKSHOP, POSTER SESSION AND ROUNDTABLES TO SHARE THE PROCESS OF OUR WORK. BIKES FOR WESTERN LOUISIANA REGION - THE RECIPIENTS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE STORM SURVIVORS THAT ARE AT THE VERY MARGINS OF RECOVERY IN LOUISIANA'S SULPHUR, MOSSVILLE, DERIDDER, NORTH LAKE CHARLES, AND WESTLAKE COMMUNITIES. PEOPLE BENEFITING FROM THIS PROGRAM ARE THOSE WITHOUT ANY OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND NEED SUCH FOR THEIR WORK, SCHOOL AND HOME NEEDS. THERE IS A LARGE POPULATION OF PEOPLE MADE HOMELESS/HOUSELESS DUE TO THE VARIOUS STORMS. THE IMPACT OF THE BIKES HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE. PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET TO WORK, SCHOOL, AD ESSENTIAL SERVICES, INCLUDING THE OBTAINING OF FOOD AND MEDICINES. THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO STABILIZING A POPULATION THAT HAS EXPERIENCED DAMAGE BY STORMS, THE ECONOMY, LACK OF ATTENTION TO THE REGION AND RESPONSE BY THE GOVERNMENT. IT ALSO PROVIDES A BIT OF JOY TO THE CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE BIKES FOR FUN, RECREATION AND ENJOYMENT. MOST OF THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED OR HARMED BY MULTIPLE DISASTERS. STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND MENTORING - LOWLANDER ATTRACTS STUDENTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY WHO ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THEIR ACADEMIC OR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING. THESE STUDENTS ARE INTERESTED IN APPLIED JUSTICE AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITHIN THEIR DISCIPLINE. THEY PARTNER WITH THE COMMUNITIES AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITIES'NEEDS AND GAPS. THE PROJCTS BEING SUPPORTED BY THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE FLOATING GARDENS, VERTICAL GARDENS, LIVING SHORELINES, MAPPING, INTERNET, SOLAR GRIDS, MEDIA COMMUNICATION, AND DISASTER ADVOCACY. INTERNS ARE INVOLVED WITH THE VARIOUS PROJECTS UNDER OUR UMBRELLA OF WORK INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT ENGAGEMENT, RESEARCH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GRANT PROPOSALS (DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATENESS OF GRANT POSSIBILITIES FOR COMMUNITIES' USE.)
