Map Your Neighborhood
Neighborhoods that prepare are more effective in their
disaster response and have an increased capacity to be
self-sufficient for the first 72 hours after a disaster. For
more
preparedness information, see the
Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program.
"MYN" - Map Your Neighborhood
Why MYN? MYN helps us organize a timely response to
disaster when 911 is unavailable. All of us, working together, can
reduce the serious consequences of disaster in our neighborhood.
What will we do? We will learn a 9-step Neighborhood
Response Plan that immediately helps us know what to do - both at home
and in the neighborhood - to respond to injuries, leaking natural gas,
and assisting people who may be alone and frightened. The process
is proven, fun, and easy. We will identify the skills and
equipment each neighbor has that are useful in an effective and timely
disaster response. And we will map our neighborhood's natural gas
meters and propane tank locations so we can quickly respond to leaking
gas and reduce the threat of fire.
BONUS: We will learn how the program works together
on how to take MYN out to our friends, family and neighbors.
