the role each plays in all areas of disaster–A work plan - ‘NEXT STEPS’ that is
updated annually.–Other partners that were needed–A readiness to work cooperatively

The 3 T’sTrust, Turf and Time
![Page 13: Kentucky. VERY Rural Ranks 44 th in poverty Ranks 8 th in unemployment Estimated 874K with disabilities Fire, EMS are volunteers in rural areas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e215503460f94b0e452/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
CollaborationDefined As:• an exchanging of information, altering
activities, sharing resources and enhancing the capacity of another for mutual benefit.• To achieve a common purpose by
sharing risks, responsibilities and rewards.
![Page 14: Kentucky. VERY Rural Ranks 44 th in poverty Ranks 8 th in unemployment Estimated 874K with disabilities Fire, EMS are volunteers in rural areas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e215503460f94b0e452/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Trust and Turf
• Is not built overnight - it takes TIME• Building is a transformation process that must – Respect diversity of values– Respect diversity of perspective– A willingness to listen– A willingness to respectfully educate– A willingness to share power– Mutual Learning– Mutual accountability– A willingness to draw out ideas and information in ways that
contribute to effective problem solving– Leave ‘ego’ at the door
![Page 15: Kentucky. VERY Rural Ranks 44 th in poverty Ranks 8 th in unemployment Estimated 874K with disabilities Fire, EMS are volunteers in rural areas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e215503460f94b0e452/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Trust and Turf cont.
• It comes through building relationships through engaging honest sometimes NOT PC but respectful conversation
• Put away ‘this is the way we have always done it’ or ‘it’s the law’
• Put on your teaching and listening hats
![Page 16: Kentucky. VERY Rural Ranks 44 th in poverty Ranks 8 th in unemployment Estimated 874K with disabilities Fire, EMS are volunteers in rural areas](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649e215503460f94b0e452/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Things to consider
• Engage a facilitator when beginning• We all view the world through different lenses– Cultural (native heritage, work/living environment,
generational)– Language (native heritage, acronyms, work living
environment, generational)– Do not continue to restate the problem – move
forward – FIND SOLUTIONS

Last But Not Least
•Maintain a VERY good sense of humor and flexibility especially during those times when the process gets a bit messy.
