Map Your Neighborhood

Train-the-Trainer

When: July 24, 2008 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Where: Public Works/Willamette Room

What is “Map Your Neighborhood”?

“Map Your Neighborhood” (MYN) is a program designed to help neighborhoods prepare for disasters.

A single disaster causes many individual emergencies at one time. Unfortunately, the police or fire department may not be able to respond to your call for help in a timely manner. Professional emergency response to your situation may be delayed for hours, even days. Of necessity you and your neighbors become the first responders to your emergencies. Preparing your neighborhood is vital. Neighbors that are prepared are more effective in their response to a disaster and have an increased capacity to be self-sufficient for the first 72 hours after a disaster.

MYN will help you to:

Learn the 9 Steps to take immediately following a disaster to secure your home and protect your neighborhood.

Create a neighborhood map identifying locations of natural gas and propane tanks.

Create a contact list that helps identify those with specific needs such as elderly, disabled or children who may be home alone during certain hours of the day.

Identify the skills and equipment each neighbor has that would be useful in effective disaster response.

Work together as a team to evaluate your neighborhood during the first hour following a disaster and take the necessary actions.

Remember: In a disaster, your neighbors are the most immediate source of help.

Commentary: Task as Americans is to be ready for disasters - CNN.com

Commentary: Task as Americans is to be ready for disasters - CNN.com: "Neighborhoods and community groups need to know about and keep track of those among us who are unable to self-evacuate or unable to care for themselves, particularly when the power fails or when they run out of medicine.

And each of us has a personal responsibility to be ready. We need to prepare our families and our homes. In many cases, family and personal preparations can be fairly simple. All it takes is a shift in our thinking. For example, when Granny's birthday comes around, we have a tendency to get her one of those little silver picture frames with a photo of the kids. We need to stop giving Granny those picture frames and give her a weather radio. And on Father's Day, instead of giving Grandpa those funky colored ties, give him a weather radio, too."
