Neighborhood Preparedness

Personal Emergency Preparedness, though vitally important, must involve Neighborhood Preparedness.  If you have done all that is necessary to prepare yourself and your family for an emergency or disaster, then take the next step by helping to guide your neighbors to do what you have done and get themselves prepared.  If this is all new to you, gather your neighbors and work together as a neighborhood to become prepared.  The point here is that you and your family can gather all the food, water and supplies that are necessary to help you survive a disaster. However, if you have unprepared neighbors, whose house do you think they will come to in the aftermath of a disaster?  Will you be willing or able to share all of your food and supplies with your neighbors?  If the answer to this is no - then this next step is for you.

The following documents provide you with everything you need to begin to organize your neighborhood and the task of Neighborhood and Community Emergency Preparedness.
