The Vicars Community Center, recently renovated with financial aid from the Inflation Reduction Act, serves as a newly established community-owned resiliency hub in Atlanta's Cascade neighborhood.
Pastor Kevin Earley emphasized the community's mission: 'We want to be the place that people turn to in the good times and the bad,' highlighting the center's dual role in support.
Extreme weather has led to 80% of power outages from 2000 to 2023, underscoring the need for community resilience as seen with the Vicars Community Center's emergency preparations.
With the recency of hurricanes causing blackouts, the center ensures families can charge devices and keep medicines secure during extreme weather events, enhancing community safety.
