Local agencies are recommending that citizens be prepared to take care of themselves, their families and neighbors in the event that police and fire department personnel (known as "first responders") are unable to respond to the needs of all citizens in the event of a widespread emergency.
Click on the link below for a list of recommended supplies to keep on hand in the event of any emergency.
Check out the Citizen Corps Council website listed under the Police & Safety section of our website.
Residents are being sought to be part of an emergency team in each neighborhood. Those with medical training are especially needed, although medical training is not required to be part of the team. We need neighbors who simply want to provide assistance to those who can't necessarily take care of themselves.
If you are interested in being part of an emergency team in our neighborhood, please contact your block captain or any Dodge/Flower board member.
