Neighborhood Ready! How to win friends and survive a disaster

Do you feel connected to your neighbors? Getting prepared together is fun, builds friendships, and it may save your life or the lives of your family, neighbors, and friends. Natural disasters, like wildfires, floods, and severe storms have been increasing in the last few years. If a natural disaster strikes, emergency services will be overwhelmed. Your best chance of survival is to be surrounded by caring people who are knowledgeable and prepared — people who have your back and know what to do. We are stronger together! In this FEMA-endorsed program, you’ll learn the 9 steps to take after a disaster, why it’s important to get ready on your street, and how easy and fun it is to plan your neighbor meeting.
