Map Your Neighborhood

May 20, 2010 - 11:25am — Mitch Neilson

As you work within your neighborhood or workplace I want to remind you about the Map Your Neighborhood program. This is a program that helps organize your neighborhood and develop the relationships needed in times of disaster.

The program lasts an hour to an hour and a half. It can be held in an individual home, community clubhouse, church, business, or even at the fire station.

I have the materials and will lead a discussion for your group to get to know your neighbors and surroundings better.

About Hillsboro CERT

The city of Hillsboro provides you with quality emergency fire and medical services. In the wake of a disaster they may be unavailable due to debris and road damage, plus an overwhelming need for emergency response in all areas of the city. Some basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills would improve your ability to survive until assistance arrives.
