The Map Your Neighborhood program teaches neighbors to rely on each other during the hours or days before the fire, medical, police or utility responders arrive. It is designed to improve disaster readiness at the neighborhood level, 15-20 homes, or a defined area that you can canvas in 1 hour. Hear more about the origins of the program, how it works, and how two communities in Washington are using the program to identify neighborhood leaders and coordinate emergency preparedness and response efforts for wildfire and other disasters.
