Siuslaw News Online: "When a disaster strikes, the immediate response is panic. This is magnified by the fact that 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 are able to be self-sufficient in the first 72 hours after a disaster."
