Map Your Neighborhood

In a disaster, your most immediate source of help are the neighbors living around you. In this program you will:

1. Learn the first 9 steps to take immediately following disaster to secure your home and to protect your neighborhood.

2. Identify the skills and equipment each neighbor has that are useful in an effective disaster response.

3. Create a neighborhood map showing the locations of: each natural gas meter and propane tank; and each neighbor who may be more than usually vulnerable to injury or trauma.

Knowing what to do in the first hours of a disaster repsonse may help you save a life, reduce the severity of possible injuries, and reduce the amount of damage the neighborhood sustains.
