MAP
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
READY THE RESIDENT CLASS
"Map
Your Neighborhood" (MYN) is a program designed to help neighborhoods prepare for disasters. It is a program that HBNW has
adopted and highly encourages Block Captains to attend a class and implement the program on their street.
MYN will help you to:
-
Learn the "9 Steps to Take
Immediately Following a Disaster" to secure your home and to protect your neighborhood. It is hard to think clearly
following disaster and these steps will help you to quickly and safely take actions that can minimize damage and
protect lives.
-
Identify the Skills and Equipment
each neighbor has that would be useful in an effective disaster response. Knowing which neighbors have supplies and
skills helps your disaster response be timely, and allows everyone to contribute to the response in a meaningful
way.
-
Create a Neighborhood Map
identifying the locations of natural gas for quick response if needed.
-
Create a Contact List that helps
identify those with specific needs such as elderly, disabled, or children who may be home alone during certain hours
of the day.
-
Work together as a team to
evaluate your neighborhood during the first hour following a disaster and take the necessary actions.
