Map Your Neighborhood

 

 What is Map Your Neighborhood?

Map Your Neighborhood is a program designed to build and strengthen disaster readiness among neighbors. After a disaster emergency personnel are typically overwhelmed. Neighbors may be on their own until help arrives. The program allows neighbors to plan how they can help one another by identifying who has valuable skills as well as who is vulnerable and may need extra help. Through a 90 minute training neighbors learn nine immediate steps to take post disaster that will help minimize damage and protect lives.
