PhinneyWood Hubs, the neighborhood disaster preparedness group, will hold its next public meeting to launch the “Unified Neighborhood Response” program, which brings together households, Watch Block teams, and Emergency Hubs in a coordinated system to respond to a major earthquake or other disaster.
The meeting will feature:
● Reports From the Field: Block Leaders report on work with their neighbors,
● Household Preparedness – The Foundation : Presentation/discussion with local expert Kelly Kasper,
● Practice & Training : We will evaluate proposed new procedures for Blocks and Hubs in a small group breakout session.
This is the first in a series of monthly meetings leading up to a full scale neighborhood exercise in June 2016. PhinneyWood Hubs will participate in the national level “Cascadia Rising” exercise, which will involve federal, state, and local agencies in a functional drill to practice response to a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.
The meeting is free. Residents of any neighborhood are welcome to attend. For more information, please visit our web site at www.PhinneyWoodHubs.org
