Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) is a
program designed to help neighborhood blocks prepare for disasters.
|
MYN will help you to:
-
Learn the 9
steps to take immediately following a disaster to secure your home and protect
your block (15-20 homes on your street). -
Create a
neighborhood block map identifying locations of natural gas and propane tanks.
-
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.
-
Identify the
skills and equipment each neighbor has that would be useful in effective
disaster response. Work together
as a team to evaluate your neighborhood block during the first hour following a
disaster and take the necessary actions.
