Know Your Neighbors Banner

Do you know your neighbors?

Regardless of the type of emergency you may face or where you live, it’s important to know your neighbors.

Here’s why:

  • Emergency response teams may be delayed
  • Your neighbors may be the first ones who can help
  • They know where you live and will have a better idea of what you might need
  • So meet your neighbors today!

Being prepared for an emergency begins with “hello”.

  • Introduce yourself and let them know you live nearby
  • Tell them you’re making a plan in the event of a emergency and want to share your information
  • Exchange contact information such as a phone number or email
  • See example contact list
