The PA and its Grassroots Organisations' (GROs) Emergency Preparedness Programmes seek to strengthen the understanding and ties between people of different races and religions, and build up our community's skills and knowledge in coping with emergencies.

Through these Programmes, residents will learn emergency preparedness skills and get involved in emergency exercises. Our objective is to help Singaporeans cope with shock and to stay calm and be resilient. This will ensure that our community stays together, and we can return to our daily lives as quickly as possible.

A wide range of Emergency Preparedness activities and programmes are organised at the constituencies all year round. Through the Community Emergency and Engagement Committee (C2E) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), the PA and its GROs work with other emergency authorities to prepare, train and support the community to deal with emergencies which include the threat of terrorism. The initiatives include:

• Community Emergency Preparedness Day
• Publication of Grassroots Emergency Response Guide Book
• Community Safety and Security Programme
• Community Engagement Programme

Pick up life skills such as Community Emergency Preparedness  Programme, Standard First Aid (with certification), Basic  Cardiac Life Support (with certification) and Managing Crisis  Behaviour. Find out more on these Emergency Preparedness  programmes at a CC near you.

PA through its Grassroots Organisations (GROs) and Integration and Naturalisation Champions (INCs), help new citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs) settle in the community, providing platforms for them to interact with and bond with the local residents. Through their participation in various integration-centric programmes and GRO programmes/activities, the new immigrants can make friends and develop mutual understanding with their neighbours and other residents in the community.

• Integration and Naturalisation Champions
• PA's Systematic and Continuous Engagement Framework
• Integration Programmes

Integration and Naturalisation Champions (INCs) initiate and spearhead integration and naturalisation programmes in the local community. INCs actively reach out to new citizens/PRs by conducting house visits to welcome and invite them to join grassroots activities to expand their social network. INCs also organise various grassroots activities such as welcome tea parties and festive celebrations to engage new citizens/PRs.

To achieve the key objective of PA’s integration efforts to widen our outreach and deepen engagement with new citizens/PRs (new immigrants), PA developed the Systematic and Continuous Engagement Framework which conceptualises the different levels of engagement attained systematically and continuously through participating in a series of focused programmes and activities.
