The Problem

We are trying to solve the problem related to a lack of awareness, about emergency disaster planning & response in our community.

Why It's Important

It is important because people should be prepared, make a kit and have a plan. We want our community to have a plan and be ready, in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

The Plan Of Action

As part of our community outreach efforts, we will be distributing informational materials on emergency, disaster preparedness from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to a total of 100 households, schools, churches, organizations & businesses in our community.

How Can Others Get Involved?

By being volunteers to help us distribute the materials and donating plastic door hanger bags, to hang on door knobs in the community.
