Take 5 to Survive was created by Washington County emergency
managers in response to residents basing their lack of emergency
preparedness on three factors –not enough time, not enough money
and a belief that disasters won't impact them. The program is supported
by a Website www.take5tosurvive.com and a series of 18 flyers that focus
on different topics for individuals and families. The first flyer is a calendar
that breaks up emergency preparedness into bite-sized steps each month,
addressing the excuses of time and money.

Neighborhood Ready is a program that keeps communities strong by
connecting neighbors so they can work together to deter crime, prepare
for and respond to major storms, earthquakes and other emergencies,
clean up their neighborhood and socialize. Connected neighborhoods are
not only safe, they're fun. Organizing your neighbors, inventorying their
skills, and identifying resources are components of this program. Use the
Neighborhood Ready guide to connect with your neighbors by hosting a
Neighborhood Ready meeting.
