Neighborhood Preparedness is a six-session basic preparedness course designed to build a foundation for a lifestyle of preparedness. This course focuses on Family Plans and Documents, emergency kits and supplies and teamwork. Neighborhood Preparedness. The Preparedness Plan is made to be relatively simple – though it does require a significant amount of work. Our definition of basic preparedness is very thorough in scope and means being prepared for a minimum of three days of crisis whether you stay at home or have to evacuate. We hope that you will take the tools, resources, and progress made during this course and continue on the preparedness journey as far as you desire to go. Are You Ready For This?! Neighborhood Preparedness is a tool to move people from knowing they need to be prepared to actually being prepared. We want to be very clear that accomplishing the goal of basic preparedness in six structured sessions is meant to be simple, but inevitably will take a significant amount of time, effort, and money. The estimated time requirement is three to five hours each week. The estimated financial commitment can be between $200-$500 based on your personal choices and what you have in your home already. A lack of information is certainly not the cause of unpreparedness, the reason so many are not yet prepared is because of the work required to achieve it. Rest assured, you will never regret the time and energy spent preparing your home and family for crisis. Neighborhood Preparedness will build an excellent foundation for three weeks, months, and years of preparedness. We know there are volumes and volumes of preparedness information and resources available online and we will reference these resources and encourage you to use them because many are excellent and informative. The strength of Neighborhood Preparedness is found in helping you to accomplish preparedness in community.
