Brooklyn Prepared! sessions ready to start – sign up now!

Subduction Zone

In the event of a major disaster, neighbors helping neighbors will be how we survive until help comes from the outside. Recent media reports have documented how, after a major earthquake, this could take up to two weeks, so we all need to plan how to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. The Brooklyn Action Corps program designed to prepare Brooklyn block by block is now underway!

From now through December 2016, BAC is offering a series of two 90-minute discussion sessions led by trained presenters, to help you and your neighbors get ready together for earthquakes and other disasters. You can help by volunteering to host your block – or your apartment building, or floor. Don’t have space? Persuade a friendly neighbor to host and help them by organizing the meetings.

To volunteer, email ready@brooklyn-neighborhood.org with your address, phone number and which month you would like to host. Then we will contact you with hosting information and neighbor invitations, and schedule a presenter for your block.

The first session will help you think about all the “What ifs” and plan with your household for any emergency. The second session addresses gathering supplies needed to “Go” or “Stay” where you are, in the event of disaster. You and your neighbors will also learn how to plan to help each other effectively after a disaster, and to keep maintaining and improving your block’s preparedness. In the end you will have a plan and be ready for anything!
