After a large earthquake, your community’s
emergency responders will be overwhelmed
and possibly victims themselves. You, your
family, and neighbors will need to be your
own first responders. Get together with
your neighbors to talk about and plan for
emergencies.
We are all in this together
No one survives and recovers from a
disaster alone. Disasters have shown that
where people are organized and prepared,
families recover faster. Your neighborhood
will recover faster if you organize now.
Once you have organized, you can move
to more ambitious projects like practicing
emergency drills and helping build supply
caches with your neighbors.

When disasters happen, we rely on the aid
of others to help us through. Even with the
best preparedness efforts, our neighbors

Getting to know you
Map the hazards
Introduction to
“Two Weeks Ready”
In today’s world, we often don’t know our
neighbors very well, if at all. But after a
disaster, you may be the one to save their
lives, or the other way around. So start by
introducing yourself to your neighbors. Make
an index card with your name, address and
phone number, email, and other methods to
contact you in case of emergency.
Once you have started your planning process,
you can get the neighborhood together again
to map out the hazards in your area. Most
state geological or emergency management
agencies have online hazard maps for your
use. Print out a map of your neighborhood
and talk about hazards, who has special
training (medical, fire-fighting), and who
might have special needs or special resources
(generator, chainsaw, etc.). Mark the location
of gas and water shut-off valves. Then take
the maps and walk around in groups to make
sure everything is correct.
Preparing for disasters can be done over
time. The traditional three days of supplies
is a good start and helpful for short-term
power outages or temporary evacuation.
But a large earthquake and tsunami will
leave much of the region’s transportation
routes destroyed. Delivery of assistance and
supplies will be difficult or impossible initially.
People will have to count on each other
in the community, in the workplace and at
home in order to be safe until responders
can reach them. It is recommended that
families, neighborhoods and communities
strive to be self-sufficient for two weeks.

Many communities participate in public
safety events that can be linked to disaster
preparedness: National Night Out, Safety
Towns, or Firewise events can all serve this
purpose.
Share a meal
Food sharing has been a community building
action for generations. Organize a potluck
to take advantage of summer weather, or
if weather doesn’t cooperate, at a nearby
home or community center. Let everyone
know that you plan to talk about emergency
preparedness in your neighborhood.

Community and
backyard gardens
While you can store shelf stable food for a
long time, it is easy to start to grow at least
some of your own food. Your local garden
nursery or extension service will have great
ideas for how to make gardening work in your
space. Even if you live in an apartment, you can
grow some vegetables and herbs in pots.
